Healthy and diseased implant 16S rDNA

The present two cases shows the usefulness of implantoplasty (IP) and an apically positioned flap (APF) with free gingival graft (FGG) for treating peri-implantitis in the patients with history of periodontitis. To remove the peri-implant infection, the contaminated implant surface was treated by IP with erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser after flap elevation. Additionally, FGG was applied to increase keratinized mucosa and vestibular depth. No periodontal or functional problems were observed, and good oral hygiene condition has been maintained by the patients at the follow-up (2 years in case 1(sample126) and 1 year in case 2 (sample 152)). 126HI1 and 152HI1 are pretreatment healthy implant data. 126HI202006 and 152HI2020 are follow-up healthy implant data. 126goPI1 and 152PI1 are pretreatment peri-implantitis data. 126PIafsurgical and 152PI2 are after surgical treatment peri-implantitis data. 126goPI202006 and 152PI2020 are follow-up peri-implantitis implant data.
