The effect of two regenerative surgical treatments for peri-implantitis defect using porous titanium granules alone and a combination of bovine bone mineral with collagen membrane: A systematic review

Implant success has broad definitions in clinical practice. Dental implant is becoming a common option for the replacement of lost teeth; there are various reasons for implant failure; one of them is peri-implantitis. This systematic review compares the two regenerative surgical treatment options for peri-implantitis. This systematic review was conducted to compare the effect of porous titanium granules and bovine bone mineral with the collagen membrane as a regenerative surgical treatment for peri-implantitis. A systematic search was performed in the PubMed database, Google Scholar, Institutional Library, and manual search of various journals. Cross-references were checked from relevant articles. Filters were put for the dates of publication from January 2000 to December 2016. Language restriction was put to English only. A total number of 367 articles were identified through the electronic search. Only six articles were included on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the six articles were reviewed for the study characteristic. All the articles have shown good results when porous titanium granules and combination bovine bone mineral with collagen material was used to treat peri-implantitis. Porous titanium granules can be used as a regenerative surgical treatment for peri-implantitis; however, bovine bone mineral along with collagen membrane is a better regenerative treatment.
