Within the general limitations of a case series, our results suggest that resective peri-implant surgery with osteoplasty, implantoplasty and an apically positioned flap is a safe and possible way to treat peri-implantitis. Mucosal recession with the esthetic problems might limit applicability in the esthetic area.
