Interventions for peri-implantitis and their effects on further bone loss. A retrospective analysis of a registry-based cohort.

CONCLUSIONS:Non-surgical procedures were insufficient to prevent further bone loss at implant sites affected by moderate/severe peri-implantitis. Surgical treatment of peri-implantitis markedly diminished the progression of bone loss. Clinical assessments of bleeding on probing and probing depth at diagnosis predicted further bone loss.
