Characteristics and frequency distribution of bone defect configurations in peri-implantitis lesions-A series of 193 cases.

(a) Most common peri-implantitis defects exhibited a combination of intrabony component and a buccal/oral dehiscence, while purely circumferential defects were relatively seldom; (b) implants with defects with bone dehiscence were placed more frequently closer to the lateral aspect of the ridge harboring the dehiscence; (c) implants placed in the lower anterior region had the highest risk for more severe peri-implant bone loss; and (d) peri-implant bone defects with only a single bone wall appropriate for regenerative procedure were relatively frequent.
