Brief Summary: The scientific evidence available at present regarding the alterations suffered by the alveolar ridge after the explantation of implants that have been considered to be abandoned due to periimplantitis as well as the remaining sequelae from said treatment is scarce and inconclusive

Regarding this background it is speculated that the different types of peri-implant defects present different bone remodeling and different sequelae after the explantation of the implants affected by peri-implantitis

Thus it has been hypothesized that the peri-implant defect configuration has an influence on the radiographic bone alterations that occur after explantation

In order to test this hypothesis a retrospective study has been designed as it follows Patients who have undergone implant placement procedure and suffer from peri-implantitis will be consecutively included in the study In addition patients should present at least 2 CBCTs taken before and after explantation 4-6 months apart Linear measurements will be taken in order to assess dimensional changes of the alveolar ridge at 1 3 5 and 7 mm from the bone crest
Detailed Description: Peri-implant diseases have been a growing problem for the last decades A recent cross-sectional study conducted in the Spanish population has shown a prevalence of mucositis and peri-implantitis at the implant level of 27 and 20 and of 27 and 18 at the patient level respectively Rodrigo et al 2018 As the peri-implant disease progresses it has been observed that it generates different types of defects around implants affected by this pathology Recently Monje et al 2019 have classified these defects according to their morphology infrabony defects supracrestalhorizontal defects or combined defects and according to the depth of the defect and total bone losstotal implant length 3-4mm25 of implant length 4-5mm25-50 of implant length 6mm50 of implant length Monje et al 2019

Bone remodeling as well as the sequelae or morphological alterations suffered by the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction have been widely described in the literature Amler et al 1960 Evian et al 1982 Cardaropoli et al 2003 In an animal model Araujo and coworkers described the alterations of the alveolar ridge following tooth extraction observing that bone height reduction of the buccal plate was more pronounced than the lingual and that vertical bone loss was always associated with horizontal bone loss Araujo et al 2005 In contrast the evidence available nowadays regarding the alterations suffered by the alveolar ridge after the explantation of implants that have been considered to be removed due to peri-implantitis as well as the remaining sequelae from said treatment is scarce and inconclusive

Therefore the the primary objective of this study will be to evaluate radiographically the influence of the peri-implant defect configuration on the radiographic bone alterations after implant explanation

In this sense a retrospective observational study will be design The protocol of which will be approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Extremadura Badajoz Spain and will follow the Declaration of Helsinki on human studies In addition this study will be reported in accordance with the Analysis Strenghtening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology STROBE Statement

Patient recruitment will be obtained from a private practice exclusively dedicated to periodontics and implantology Edentulous patients either total or partial who previously underwent implant placement procedure will be consecutively included in the study A prerequisite for being eligible for the study was to have at least 2 CBCts one taken before explantation in order to diagnose peri-implantitis and the other taken after explantation

In order to define a peri-implantitis case it will be based on the consensus report of Workgroup 4 of the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions Berglundh et al 2018 in which it was stated that in the absence of baseline information the diagnosis of peri-implantitis required presence of bleeding andor suppuration on gentle probing probing depth 6 mm and bone level 3mm apical to the most coronal portion of the implant or at the rough-smooth interface in transmucosal implants

Once defined several variables will be recorded including both patient- and implant-related ones The former will include age gender type of edentulism totalpartial history of periodontal disease mild moderate or severe tobacco smoking heavy smoker 10 cigarettesday light smoker 10 cigarettesday former smoker 0 cigaretteday or non-smoker numbers of implant per patient and keratinized mucosa 0 2 or 2 mm Implant-related variables will include position mandible maxilla anterior posterior implant system brand diameter length and type of connection implant macrodesign transmucosalbone level type of prosthesis singlemultiple screwcement-retained as well as explantation method trephine tweezers forceps or implant removal kit In addition whether regeneration was performed or not after explantation will be recorded as well as the material used for it

For the radiographic assessment images were acquired by CBCT i-CAT Model 17-19 Imaging Sciences International LLC Hatfield PA USA The imaging parameters were set at a width and depth of 16 13 mm 120 kVp 2027 mAs scan time 147 seconds resolution 025 voxel and a field of view FOV which varied based on the scanned region Defect morphology and severity were determined using the OnDemand3D software Cybermed Seoul Korea by one previously calibrated examiner

Prior to the assessment of the different radiographic variables two reference lines will be established longitudinal axis of the implant and a perpendicular line to it tangent to a reference point sinus floor in the maxilla and mandibular base in the mandible Several parameters will be assessed before and after explantation in each implant including bone-to-implant contact BIC at 4 sites mesial distal buccal lingual defined as the first contact between the bone and the implant surface assessed from the most coronal part of the intraosseous component of the implant bone plate thickness BPT assessed at buccal and lingual in mm The reference point will be the bone crest and bone thickness will be recorded at 1 3 5 and 7 mm from the crest In addition ridge width RW will be also recorded at 1 3 5 and 7 mm from the bone crest If there is any discrepancy between buccal and lingual bone crest the most apical one will be chosen as the reference

In order to assess changes in bone crest height the distance between the most coronal point of the bone crest buccal and lingual and the reference line tangent to a fixed reference point was calculated in mm

BPT and RW at 1 3 5 and 7 mm will be also assessed when the implant has been already explanted recording the months that have passed from the explantation

For the characterization of the peri-implantitis defects the defect morphology and severity classification by Monje and coworkers will be followed Monje et al 2019

Morphology

Class I Infraosseous defect Class Ia Buccal dehiscence Class Ib 2-3 walls defect Class Ic Circumferential defect
Class II Supracrestalhorizontal defect
Class III Combined defect Class IIIa Buccal dehiscence horizontal bone loss Class IIIb 2-3 walls defect horizontal bone loss Class IIIc Circumferential defect horizontal bone loss
Severity based upon the defect depth from the implant neck and ratio of bone losstotal implant length

Grade S Slight 3-4 mm25 of the implant length
Grade M Moderate 4-5 mm 25-50 of the implant length
Grade A Advanced 6 mm50 of the implant length

Regarding the statistical analysis the statistical package SPSS 150 SPSS Inc Chicago IL USA STATISTICS version 71StatSoft Inc will be used for this purpose The Pearson correlation test will be applied for the assessment of confounding factors and Linear regression models based on generalized estimating equations GEEs will be used to analyze the differences in the mean values of the post-extraction bone changes during the 2 time phases This model will consider the correlations of within-subject repeated measures
