BACKGROUND The peri-implant diseases, namely peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, have been extensively studied. However, little is known about the true magnitude of the problem, owing mainly to the lack of consistent and definite diagnostic criteria used to describe the condition. The objective of the present review is to systematically estimate the overall frequency of peri-implant di...

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...

AIM The objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was to study the effect of implant surface decontamination with chlorhexidine (CHX)/cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) on microbiological and clinical parameters. MATERIAL & METHODS Thirty patients (79 implants) with peri-implantitis were treated with resective surgical treatment consisting of apically re-positioned flap...

PURPOSE The aim of this review was to evaluate a history of treated periodontitis and smoking, both alone and combined, as risk factors for adverse dental implant outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature search of MEDLINE (Ovid) and EMBASE from January 1, 1966, to June 30, 2008, was performed, and the outcome variables implant survival, implant success, occurrence of peri-implantitis and ...

INTRODUCTION The task of Group 3 was to review and update the existing data concerning non-surgical, surgical non-regenerative and surgical regenerative treatment of peri-implantitis. Special interest was paid to the preventive and supporting therapy in case of peri-implantitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The main areas of interest were as follows: effect of smoking and history of periodontitis, pr...

A variety of treatment modalities have been proposed for the management of peri-implantitis. These are mostly based on empiric experience and use the systemic administration of an antibiotic in conjunction with surgical intervention. To ensure decontamination of the affected implant surface(s), chemical and/or mechanical debridement is used. For textured implant surfaces, detoxification using i...

Theuseofdental implantshas revolutionized the treatment of partially and fully edentulous patients today. Implants have becomea treatment approach formanaging a broad range of clinical dilemmas due to their high level of predictability and their ability to be used for a wide variety of treatment options. While in many cases dental implants have been reported to achieve long-term success, they a...

Various therapeutic modalities have been suggested to treat peri-implantitis.2 However, no superiority of one treatment over another could be demonstrated, and more complex approaches failed demonstrate additional benefits simple treatments.2Surgical non-surgicaldebridement their own comparative advantages disadvantages.
