The traditional method of treating peri-implantitis is cleaning around the implant to attempt to remove the infection. However, experience shows that peri-implantitis attacks usually continue despite this cleaning. With Tigran’s method an implant affected by infection and bone loss can often be saved by bone regeneration around the implant and in this way unnecessary intervention and major costs related to replacing the implant are avoided.

Tigran runs several studies related to bone regeneration at peri-implantitis, of which a major study in the area was accepted for publication in 2011 (Wohlfahrt JC et al).
The results of the pilot study were presented during the fall of 2008 and clearly show that bone can be regenerated using porous titanium granules. Tigran is first to through biopsies show that new bone grows in and around the titanium granules and recreates bone tissue around the implant.
