Background and study aims
Periimplantitis is a condition that occurs in the tissues surrounding dental implants. It involves inflammation of the connective tissue around the implant and support bone loss. The objective of the treatment of peri-implantitis is to resolve the inflammation of the soft tissues and stop the additional loss of the support bone. Non-surgical treatment is not enough to stop the disease, while surgical treatment has shown greater effectiveness. The goal of reconstructive procedures for peri-implant bone defects is to restore the implant support tissues and improve aesthetics and bone integration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of enamel matrix derivate with a bovine (cow) bone graft and a resorbable membrane in the treatment of peri-implant bone defects.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 and over with advanced peri-implantitis at one or more implants

What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated to the test surgery with the enamel matrix derivative or the control surgery without the enamel matrix derivative. Clinical examinations are performed at 4, 12, 24 and 48 weeks after surgery.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The possible benefits of participating are treatment for peri-implantitis and improved prognosis for dental implants. There is no additional risk of participating because it is a treatment that eliminates the infection around the implants.

Where is the study run from?
Periocentrum Bilbao (Spain)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
February 2021 to February 2024

Scientific titleApplication of enamel matrix derivate, deproteinized bovine bone and collagen membrane for the reconstructive treatment of periimplant intrabony defect: a randomized clinical trial
Study objectivesThe enamel matrix derivate simultaneous to guided bone regeneration with xenograft and collagen membrane has a better outcome in terms of radiographic defect fill and re-establishing peri-implant health compared with when only xenograft and collagen membrane is used.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 08/03/2021, Ethical Committee of the Basque Country (CEIm de Euskadi [Comité de Ética de la Investigación Clínica con medicamentos] Farmaziako Zuzendaritza / Dirección de Farmacia. Osasun saila / Departamento de Salud. Eusko Jaurlaritza / Gobierno Vasco C/ Donostia-San Sebastián, 1 – 01010 Vitoria-Gasteiz; +34 (0)945 01 64 59; ceic.eeaa@euskadi.eus), ref: PS2021008
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedIntraosseous peri-implant defects
InterventionSurgical procedures will be performed 1 month after non-surgical periodontal treatment. On the same day of surgical therapy an antibiotic will be administered for 7 days (amoxicillin 500 mg / 7 days / 8 hours). Full-thickness flap will be elevated and infected tissues will be removed. Implant surface mechanical decontamination (Labrida BioClean®) will be performed but the surface roughness will not be modified or reduced. The randomly assigned treatment will be revealed after this step.

Test procedure: First EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) will be applied to the implant surface for 2 minutes. Then the site will be carefully rinsed with sterile saline and Emdogain will be applied to the implant surface and adjacent teeth. The intrabony defect will be filled with Straumann Xenoflex® and Straumann MembraneFlex® resorbable membrane and the flaps will be sutured to their previous position.

Control procedure: The intrabony defect will be filled with Straumann Xenoflex® and Straumann MembraneFlex® resorbable membrane and the flaps will be sutured to their previous position. Sutures will be removed 2 weeks after surgical therapy.

Clinical examinations will be performed at 4, 12, 24 and 48 weeks after surgical therapy. Maintenance therapy will be realized at 12, 24 and 48 weeks after therapy.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureProbing depth (PS) in six locations per implant, measured by probing from the margin of the peri-implant mucosa to the most apical part of the peri-implant defect with a manual periodontal probe at baseline and at 6 and 12 months
Secondary outcome measures1. Filling of the radiographic defect measured using intraoral radiographs of the implant at baseline, 6 months and 12 months
2. Mucosal recession measured at one vestibular point of each implant from the apical margin of the implant-supported restoration to the margin of the peri-implant mucosa with a manual periodontal probe at baseline, at 6 months and at 12 months
3. Bleeding on probing measured with a manual periodontal probe in six locations per implant in basal at 6 months and 12 months
4. Plaque control measured with a manual periodontal probe in six locations per implant in basal at 6 months and 12 months
5. Patient satisfaction and morbidity measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) at 2 weeks, 6 months and 12 months
6. Volumetric changes measured using an intraoral scanner and a digital computer program at baseline, at 6 months and 12 months
