Surgical flaps are usually elevated to allow for thorough debridement and disinfection of the implant surface. This frequently results in gingival recession, crown margin exposure, and a poor esthetic result. This is not desirable in the esthetic zone. In this case report, a minimally invasive flapless technique incorporating the use of curettage and antiseptics is used to successfully disinfect a contaminated dental implant to allow for soft tissue readherence and pocket reduction. Radiographic bone fill is also seen. The results have been maintained for 2 years.Case Presentation: A 54-year-old female patient presented with peri-implantitis, characterized by episodic pain and suppuration from a buccal fistula on an implant replacing tooth #10.
