• Treated chronic periodontitis and proper periodontal maintenance care.

• Dental implant must meet the following criteria to be selected for the study:

  1. Implant presenting Probing Depth ≥ 6 mm
  2. Radiographic implant bone loss more than 25% of the implant length (Apex of the implant to implant platform) .
  3. Peri implant bone defect being a buccal dehiscence and semicircular bone resorption to the middle of the implant body, buccal dehiscence and circular bone resorption with lingual bone plate intact or circular bone resorption with buccal and lingual bone plates intact
  4. Single tooth implant restoration or implant supported fixed partial denture.
