Abstract (EN): Implant therapy has provided the clinician a wide variety of treatment options with respect to the replacement of missing natural teeth. With more number of dentists' practicing implant dentistry, one is likely to be presented with peri-implantitis and implant related failures in day to day practice. Peri-impant mucositis can be reversed by elimination of the biofilm but peri-implantitis which results in bone loss and subsequent exfoliation of the implant if left unattended have to be treated using a regenerative approach in addition to conventional non surgical therapy. The present case demonstrates the guided bone regeneration procedure using a glass-reinforced HA and collagen membrane in the treatment of an intrabony defect around the implant. Nine months post operative radiograph revealed complete resolution of the defect. This novel composite alloplast shows promise in treating such lesions. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
