the biological interaction between the jaw bones and dental implant is fundamental for the long-term success of dental implant placement. nevertheless, the insufficient bone volume remains a major clinical problem, especially in case of immediate dental implant. using a canine model, the present study proves the regenerative potential of adipose- derived stem cells (adscs) to repair peri-implan...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this paper was to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of non-surgical therapy for the treatment of peri-implant diseases including both, mucositis and peri-implantitis lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic search in two different databases was performed including MEDLINE (PubMed) and EMBASE from 2011 to 2016. Human studies reporting non-surgical treatment...

Purpose: Porphyromonas gingivalis fimA is a virulence factor associated with periodontal diseases, but its role in the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between the condition of peri-implant tissue and the distribution of P. gingivalis fimA genotypes in Koreans using a new primer. Methods: A total of 248 plaque samples were taken from the pe...

A lot of effort has been directed towards developing dental implant surfaces which in turn have seen the increased success rate of osseointegration. Peri-implantitis and peri-implant mucositis are inflammatory conditions of implants that can lead to implant failure. Monitoring and maintaining implant restorations is aimed at preventing these complications.

PURPOSE To compare implants in healthy conditions and implants with peri-implantitis with regard to their clinical parameters and the microbiologic composition at the peri-implant sulcus, inside the implant connection, and the gingival sulcus of neighboring teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed including consecutive patients with implants in healthy conditions and...

This case report presents an implant-aided prosthetic treatment in which peri-implant plastic surgery techniques were applied in combination to satisfactorily attain functional aesthetic expectations. Peri-implant plastic surgery enables the successful reconstruction and restoration of the balance between soft and hard tissues and allows the option of implant-aided fixed prosthetic rehabilitation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the immunohistochemical and the ultrastructural features of the implant circumference epithelium of the beagle dog using various types of antibodies. The peri-implant epithelium was at an acute-angle from the gingival epithelium and was arranged in parallel to the implant surface. With immunohistochemical staining, the peri-implant epithelium was str...

AIM The purpose of this review is to estimate the prevalence of peri-implantitis, as well as to determine possible risk factors associated with its development in patients treated with oral implants. BACKGROUND Although implant therapy has been identified as a successful and predictable treatment for partially and fully edentulous patients, complications and failures can occur. Peri-implantit...

objectives: this study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of inverted and unprocessed digitized periapical radiographs for detection of peri-implant defects. materials and methods: a total of 30 osteotomy sites were prepared in three groups of control, study group 1 with 0.425 mm defects and study group 2 with 0.725 mm defects using the sic and astra tech drill systems with 4.25mm and 4.8...

BACKGROUND Cement-retained restorations are commonly used on dental implants. Residual excess cement after placement of fixed partial dentures has been associated with clinical and radiographic signs of peri-implant disease. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between excess dental cement and peri-implant disease using the dental endoscope. METHODS Thirty-nine consecutiv...
