Plain-language summary
In recent years, dental implants have gained popularity as the treatment choice for replacement of missing teeth. With this, one of the late biological complications that arise is peri-implantitis. Based on a consensus conference in 2008, peri-implantitis was found in 28% and ≥ 56% of subjects and in 12% and 43% of implant sites (Zitzmann \& Berglundh 2008). Detection of peri-implantitis is currently based on clinical parameters like probing depths and radiographic findings of bone loss. There is however no study that assess the variability of clinical probing and radiographic reading in relation to the true outline of the peri-implantitis lesion. The present study will measure variability of clinical probing and radiographs in relation to the true outline of the peri-implantitis lesion, as well as assess the use of 2 different bone substitutes in regenerating the lesions with a barrier membrane.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion criteria
. Medically healthy adults (ASA classification I-II), at least 21 years of age.
. Diagnosed with peri-implantitis (at least one site with PPD of ≥ 6 mm, a positive bleeding on probing (BOP) and radiographic bone loss of ≥ 2 mm).
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
The accuracy of clinical probing pocket depths to the true outline in peri-implantitis lesions
Timeframe: 6 months after GBR
2
The accuracy of peri-apical radiographic readings to the true outline in peri-implantitis lesions
Timeframe: 6 months after GBR
3
Absolute change from baseline of probing pocket depth (PPD in mm) and the degree of bone fill at re-entry (6 months)
