Accepted for publication: Micro CT and human histological analysis of a peri-implant osseous defect grafted with porous titanium granules - a case report

Category: News article

The case study " Micro CT and human histological analysis of a peri-implant osseous defect grafted with porous titanium granules - a case report” by Dr. Caspar Wohlfahrt has been accepted for publication in JOMI (International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants).
The case shows re-osseointegration of an implant in a human afflicted by peri-implantitis. Both human histological and micro-CT pictures clearly show that Tigran porous titanium granules function as bone regeneration material in peri-implantitis situations.
To our knowledge, it is the first time ever re-osseointegration of an ailing implant has been displayed in humans.
