Titanium particles in tissues from peri-implant mucositis: An exfoliative cytology-based pilot study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background To evaluate the presence of titanium particles in the peri-implant mucosa of unloaded single implants. Materials and Methods Forty participants with single unloaded implants were selected. They were divided equally into two groups: Group 1 with mild and Group 2 with moderate-to-severe peri-implant mucositis. Cytologic smears of peri-implant mucosa were obtained using cytobrush during second-stage surgery. Results Study states that 60% of participants of Group 2 were positive for titanium particles in peri-implant cytology. Conclusion This study concludes that the titanium particles might be the initiators of the inflammation around implant.

Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) Levels in Peri-Implant Crevicular Fluid
Background: Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) is one of the key cytokines in the induction of osteoclastogenesis both in vitro and in vivo.Several reports indicated the presence of sRANKL in gingival crevicular fluid of patients with periodontal diseases. Objective: To determine the presence of RANKL in peri-implant crevicular fluid samples of implants with peri-implan...

Abstract Background and aim: Oral microbiota could proliferate the microspace between the implant and abutment, thereby cause inflammation in the peri-implant tissues and adjacent bone. This study aimed to investigate the effect of two types of abutments (zirconia and titanium) on microleakage at implant-abutment interface area under oblique cyclic loading in vitro. Materials and methods:In thi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Metalloproteinase-8 Levels in Crevicular Fluid of Patients with Healthy Implants or Periodontitis
Evaluation of periodontal and peri-implant tissue condition is mainly based on clinical examination and imaging diagnostics. Some data imply that Metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) level examination in peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF) might be useful for evaluating the condition of peri-implant tissues and monitoring a development of peri-implant inflammation, including both mucositis and peri-impla...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Effect of Zirconia and Titanium Abutments on Microleakage of Implant-Abutment Interface Under Oblique Cyclic Loading In Vitro
Background and Aim: Oral bacteria can proliferate in the implant-abutment interface (IAI) and cause inflammation in the peri-implant tissues and adjacent bone. This study aimed to assess the effect of zirconia and titanium abutments on the microleakage of the IAI under oblique cyclic loading conditions. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro study, 12 implant-abutment assemblies with zirconia...
متن کاملA Classification Proposal for Peri-Implant Mucositis and Peri-Implantitis: A Critical Update
Definitions of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis vary in the literature, and no clear criteria have been established for the diagnosis and treatment of such disorders. This study proposes a classification for peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis based on the severity of the disease, using a combination of peri-implant clinical and radiological parameters to classify severity in...
