The purpose of this study was to clinically evaluate an absorbable collagen membrane (Bio‐Gide ® ) and a nonabsorbable polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (PTFE), associated or not with bone grafts, for the treatment of ligature‐induced peri‐implantitis defects in dogs. The bilateral mandibular premolars were removed from 5 2‐year‐old mongrel dogs. After 3 months of healing, 3 titanium implants were placed on each side of the mandible. Experimental peri‐implantitis was induced after abutment connection. Ligatures and abutments were removed after 1 month and the bone defects were randomly assigned to one of the following treatments: DB: debridement alone; GBR+BG‐I: debridement plus PTFE membrane associated with mineralized bone graft (Bio‐Oss ® ); GBR+BG‐II: debridement plus collagen membrane (Bio‐Gide ® ) associated with mineralized bone graft; GBR‐I: debridement plus PTFE membrane; GBR‐II: debridement plus collagen membrane; BG: debridement plus mineralized bone graft. The peri‐implant bone defects were measured before and 5 months after treatment. Results showed the greatest percentage of vertical bone fill for GBR+BG‐II (27.77±14.07) followed by GBR‐II (21.78±16.19), BG (21.26±6.87), GBR+BG‐I (19.57±13.36), GBR‐I (18.86±10.63) and DB (14.03±5.6). However, the values were not statistically significant (ANOVA, contrast F test, P =0.612). Within the limits of the present investigation, it can be concluded that no difference was detected among treatments.
