Peri-implant disease is an inflammatory condition that affects the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants. Mucositis is the early and reversible form of peri-implant disease. It is characterized by inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding the implant without any loss of supporting bone. Peri-implantitis is the more advanced form of peri-implant disease, involving both soft tissue inflammation and progressive loss of the supporting bone around the implant.

For regenerative treatment of peri-implantitis, Geistlich Bio-Oss®, Bio-Oss® Collagen, Bio-Gide®, and Bio-Gide® Perio are recommended to support predictable bone regeneration, membrane stability, and long-term peri-implant tissue health.

After the loss of premolars or molars, the posterior maxilla often lacks sufficient bone height for implant placement due to sinus pneumatization. Sinus Floor Elevation (SFE) is a regenerative procedure that increases vertical bone volume beneath the sinus membrane, allowing for secure and long-lasting implant placement.

Depending on the remaining bone height and anatomy, the sinus membrane can be elevated using either a crestal (transcrestal) or lateral window approach.

For predictable bone regeneration and long-term implant stability, Geistlich Bio-Oss®, Bio-Oss® Collagen, and Bio-Oss® Pen provide a stable osteoconductive scaffold beneath the elevated sinus membrane, while Geistlich Bio-Gide® protects the grafted site and supports soft-tissue integration.
