Decontamination Using a Desiccant with Air Powder Abrasion Followed by Biphasic Calcium Sulfate Grafting: A New Treatment for Peri-Implantitis

Table 2

Radiographic observations observed at baseline after 2 years and expressed as variations after 2 years. Baseline values were obtained immediately before surgery. Δ = changes of values compared with baseline after 2-year follow-up period. r-BF = the percentage of radiographic bone fill of the defect at 2 years.
