Clinical Case Report

Treatment of Peri-Implant Mucositis at a Zirconia Implant

Frank Schwarz, Ausra Ramanauskaite

Recent clinical studies, most with short-to-medium term observation periods, have reported on the favorable clinical performance of zirconia implants in terms of survival rates, clinical, and radiographic outcomes (Roehling and coworkers 2016; Roehling and coworkers 2017; Rodriguez and coworkers 2018; Lorenz and coworkers 2019). Nonetheless, a rather high incidence of peri-implant disease at zirconia implants (39% of implants) was noted throughout a two-year period, highlighting the need for treatment protocols of peri-implant diseases at zirconia implants (Becker and coworkers 2017).

  • * General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.

  • ** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
