Treatment of a peri-implantitis defect using a mini-invasive surgical approach (MISA) and deproteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen: a case series
Vol 33, Issue 6S2, 2019
Abstract
This pilot study evaluates the effectiveness of the Mini-Invasive Surgical Approach (MISA) in the treatment of peri-implantitis defect. MISA is based on the use of the deproteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen in combination with a minimal flap. The main principle is the elevation of a flap to access to the peri-implantitis defect only on one side (palatal aspect), leaving the opposite site intact. The study was designed as a non-controlled, non-randomized pilot study. In 10 consecutive subjects, 10 implants with diagnosis of perimplantitis were selected. In all the treated sites, primary closure was obtained at completion of the surgical procedure. No relevant pain, edema and hematoma were noted. The reported surgical approach resulted in significant clinical and radiographic improvements while limiting patient morbidity. After 1-year follow-up minimal mucosal recession, probing depth reduction and radiographic bone gain were noted.
