Clinical Case Report

Treatment of Peri-Implantitis at a Zirconia Implant

Frank Schwarz, Ausra Ramanauskaite

Due to their promising clinical performance, zirconia implants have recently become popular alternatives to titanium implants, particularly for areas with high esthetic demands (Holländer and coworkers 2016; Roehling and coworkers 2016; Lorenz and coworkers 2019). However, regardless of the reported high survival and success rates, zirconia implants were affected by peri-implant diseases over the short observation period, suggesting the importance of treating peri-implant diseases at zirconia implants (Becker and coworkers 2017). In their case, Frank Schwarz and Ausra Ramanauskaite present 3-year results following mechanical debridement alongside Er:YAG laser monotherapy.

  • * General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.

  • ** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
