Abstract / Introduction: Dental implants have been considered important allies in the rehabilitation treatment of lost teeth, either in single-unit cases or in more complex rehabilitations. However, adverse outcomes may occur, for instance, peri-implantitis, which is an infectious disease similar to chronic periodontitis, afecting peri-implant tissues of which treatment aims at restoring health...

Polymicrobial diseases, which can be life threatening, are caused by the presence and interactions of multiple microbes. Peri-implantitis and periodontitis are representative polymicrobial diseases that show similar clinical symptoms. To establish a means of differentiating between them, we compared microbial species and functional genes in situ by performing metatranscriptomic analyses of peri...

This manuscript summarizes the statements and clinical recommendations in periapical implant lesions, as per the state of the art and expert opinion agreement among the participants in the 9th Mozo-Grau Conference 2016 held in Quintanilla (Valladolid, Spain). The current status of the concept, frequency, etiology, diagnosis, clinical classification, surgical procedure and prognosis are describe...

Background: Peri-implantitis is the main cause of implant failure and associated with augmented oxidative stress or tissue destruction. In this study, it was aimed to investigate oxidant-antioxidant balance parameters in individuals peri-implantitis, considering clinical findings control group. Methods: (n=30) healthy participated study. Peri-implant parameters, including probing depth (PD), gi...

The prevention and control of peri-implantitis is a challenge in dental implant surgery. Dental implants with sustained antimicrobial coating are an ideal way of preventing peri-implantitis. This study reports development of a non- immunotoxicity multilayered coating on a titanium surface that had sustained antimicrobial activity and limited early biofilm formation. In this study, the broad spe...

AIM To determine the prevalence of peri-implant diseases in private practice patients enrolled in a periodontal maintenance programme. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out in patients with dental implants attending the dental clinic to comply with a periodontal maintenance programme between January and June 2010. Implants with at least 1 year of loading time (range: 1-...

The purpose of this study was to histometrically evaluate an absorbable collagen membrane (Bio-Gide) and a nonabsorbable polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (PTFE), associated with or without bone grafts, regarding "re-osseointegration" after treating ligature-induced peri-implantitis defects in dogs. All mandibular premolars were removed from five 2-year-old mongrel dogs. After 3 months of healin...

Background. This study aimed to assessthe antimicrobial effect of chlorhexidine (CHX) on Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans biofilms isolated from subgingival plaque of peri-implantitis lesions. Methods. Thirteen patients requiring peri-implantitis treatment were consecutively selected and their subgingival biofilm was collected by inserting fine sterile paper points into peri-implant pocket...

AIM To analyse spontaneous progression of ligature-induced peri-implantitis at implants with different surface characteristics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four implants with similar geometry and with two different surface characteristics (turned/TiUnite; Nobel Biocare AB) were placed pairwise in one side of the mandible in five dogs, 3 months after tooth extraction. Experimental peri-implantitis wa...
