Implication

Pilot study demonstrates improved bone regeneration in micro pigs with ePTFE membrane in peri-implantitis treatment, indicating potential for clinical application.

Key Points

To evaluate bone regeneration adjacent to root form implants treated for peri-implantitis using ePTFE membrane.
Two micro pigs had three fixtures placed in edentulous mandibular bicuspid regions.
Induced peri-implantitis through ligatures and a soft diet, analyzing three treatment modalities.
Assess osseous defects pre- and post-surgery via sectional analysis after 12 weeks.
Fixtures treated with ePTFE membrane showed mean bone gain of 2.13 mm and 35.6% osseointegration.
Fixtures without ePTFE gained mean 1.37 mm of bone with 7.8% osseointegration.
Control fixtures demonstrated minimal bone gain of 0.87 mm with no osseointegration.
