Evaluation of horizontal bone gain after the use of calcium sulfate and β tri-calcium phosphate bone graft in surgical regenerative interventions for peri-implantitis.

Abstract

Background and aim: Dental implants have become one of the most common dental treatments in recent years, and with it is important to look at the long-term success of the dental implant and manage any diseases or pathological disorders around it, which ensures patients that the dental implant remains intact for a long period. The aim of this research is to evaluate the benefit of using calcium sulfate with β tri-calcium phosphate in the regenerative treatment of implants with peri-implantitis by evaluating the horizontal bone gain around the implants.

Materials and Methods: The sample included 21 dental implants in 8 patients from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Damascus University. The implants were treated by regenerative surgical treatment with a β TCP-calcium sulfate graft, and the radiographic parameters were evaluated and measured using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) before the procedure, the day after the procedure, and six months later to assess the bone gain accidental.

Results: The mean value of horizontal bone gain in the work area was 0.8 ± 0.3 mm, and the mean bone gain after six months after the procedure was 0.9 ± 1 mm.

Conclusion: The use of calcium sulfate bone graft with tri-calcium phosphate during treatment of peri-implantitis led to the restoration of the bone defect and achieved acceptable bone gain and gave sufficient bone thickness in the transverse plane.
