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...

Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease affecting soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants. As the global number of individuals that undergo restorative therapy through dental implants increases, peri-implantitis is considered as a major and growing problem in dentistry. A randomly selected sample of 588 patients who all had received implant-supported therapy 9 y earlier was clinic...

OBJECTIVES To review and summarize the literature concerning peri-implantitis diagnostic parameters and to propose guidelines for peri-implantitis diagnosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic literature search was conducted of the MEDLINE (Ovid) and EMBASE databases for articles published between 2011 and 2016. Sequential screening at the title/abstract and full-text levels was performed. Sy...

The oral microbiota change dramatically with each part of the oral cavity, even within the same mouth. Nevertheless, the microbiota associated with peri-implantitis and periodontitis have been considered the same. To improve our knowledge of the different communities of complex oral microbiota, we compared the microbial features between peri-implantitis and periodontitis in 20 patients with bot...

Background: Peri-implantitis is a multi-factorial disease that affects dental implants surrounding tissues. The identification of risk factors and indicators could contribute to explain the heterogeneity onset progression. aim present study investigate influence implant surface roughness other initial conditions on future development peri-implantitis by means pooled individual data.

Considering the significant role of implants in contemporary dentistry, practitioners must be able to acknowledge and anticipate clinical signs appropriate treatment measures peri-implant disease. The article aims provide an overview peri-implantitis, outlining its prevalence, etiology, risk factors, diagnosis, management for general practitioner. Peri-implantitis is a pathological condition us...

Introduction Peri-implantitis leads to gradual peri-implant bone loss. Patients with implant supported restorations should be monitored in order to avoid extreme cases of peri-implantitis, followed by implant removal. The introduction of dental implants as a procedure to replace natural teeth lost due to dental caries, trauma or periodontal disease has been a major advance in the management of ...

PURPOSE This retrospective study evaluated the relationship between the timing of peri-implantitis diagnosis and marginal bone level after a 5-year follow-up of non-surgical peri-implantitis treatment. METHODS Thirty-three patients (69 implants) were given peri-implantitis diagnosis in 2008-2009 in Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. Among them, 31 implants from 16 patients were inclu...

The emerging literature has recently reported an alarming increase in peri-implantitis. This disease is typically described as the result of an imbalance between host response and bacterial load, supported by gram-negative anaerobic microflora. The current literature on the prevention and treatment of peri-implantitis does not allow for the extraction of applicable clinical information. In fact...
