**9.2 Treatment of peri-implantitis**

The management of peri-implantitis relies on strategies of disinfection such as debridement with curettes and use of local/systemic broad-spectrum antibiotics associated or not with anti-infective solutions, such as used for chemical plaque control. The strategy is to disinfect and to reduce the inflammation as well as restoration of the peri-implant tissue lost due to the disease progression, usually with regenerative approaches using biologics and/or growth factors. The treatment of peri-implant infections comprises conservative and surgical approaches. Depending on the severity of the peri-implant disease, either a nonsurgical therapy alone or a combined with the surgical method can be used to resolve the situation.
