“…Results from animal experiments have revealed that resolution of peri‐implantitis lesions using anti‐infective measures during surgical therapy is possible (Albouy, Abrahamsson, Persson, & Berglundh, ; Carcuac, Abrahamsson, Charalampakis, & Berglundh, ). In addition, data from clinical studies indicate that anti‐infective surgical treatment protocols also are effective in the long term (Berglundh, Wennström, & Lindhe, ; Carcuac et al, ; Heitz‐Mayfield et al, ; M. Roccuzzo, Pittoni, Roccuzzo, Charrier, & Dalmasso, ; Schwarz, John, Schmucker, Sahm, & Becker, ). Results from clinical and experimental studies also revealed that implant surface characteristics influenced outcomes of surgical treatment of peri‐implantitis (Albouy et al, ; Berglundh, Wennström, et al, ; Carcuac et al, ; Carcuac et al, ; Carcuac et al, ; M. Roccuzzo, Bonino, Bonino, & Dalmasso, ).…”
