Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Dentate or edentate patients with at least one screw-type titanium implant; 2. The implant should be in function for at least a period of 12 months; 3. Peri-implant intraosseous defect with at least 3 mm depth measured from the neck; 4. The extent of bone loss will be measured on the basis of peri-apical radiographs; 5. Probing depth at the deepest site at least 5mm combined with bleeding and/or suppuration; 6. Patient above 18 years of age; 7. Psychological appropriateness; 8. Signed Informed Consent.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Patient with a history of taking systemic antibiotics in the preceding 3 months; 2. Patient allergic to penicillin (amoxicillin) or metronidazole; 3.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In periodontal literature a general consensus is used for clinical attachment level (CAL). A difference of 1 mm between treatments for CAL changes at initially deep pockets would be clinically relevant. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In periodontal literature a general consensus is used for pocket probing depth (PPD). A difference of 1 mm between treatments for PPD changes at initially deep pockets would be clinically relevant. Bone loss should be stabilized and not show any further loss on the radiographs. Plaqueaccumulation and bleeding on probing reduction by a minimum of 50%. The end point for microbiological parameters are less anaerobic bacteria and a shift in composition. | — |
