Recent studies report that individuals with polymorphisms in the genes encode for interleukin (IL)-1α and IL-1β (IL-1A IL1B, respectively) IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) may be more susceptible developing peri-implantitis. Therefore, current systematic review evaluates what is reported about role of genetics, specifically single nucleotide (SNP) on variable number tandem repeats (VNTR) IL-1R...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to examine whether a previous peri-implantitis site can affect osseointegration, by comparing implant placement at a site where peri-implantitis was present and at a normal bone site. A second aim of this study was to identify the tissue and bone reaction after treating the contaminated implant surface to determine the optimal treatment for peri-implant disease...

Neutrophil collagenase or collagenase-2 (matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]-8) belongs to the collagenase subgroup of the MMP superfamily of calcium- and zinc-dependent neutral proteinases. MMP-8 is catalytically the most competent proteinase to initiate type I collagen and extracellular matrix degradation associated with periodontal and peri-implant tissue destruction leading to tooth and dental i...

BACKGROUND This systematic review was requested by the Task Force of the American Academy of Periodontology as a follow-up study of the 2013 report, with an aim to investigate the efficacy of different surgical approaches to treat peri-implantitis. METHODS A search of four electronic databases from January 1990 to May 2013 was performed. Studies included were human clinical trials published i...

Peri-implant infections are the most common complications related to placement of dental implants. There many microbial similarities between peri-implantitis and periodontitis but due current laboratory techniques there just as differences. This review was performed assess changes in oral microbiota at sites with peri-implant disease, according state art. The presents a lower quality than perio...

Scientists have been speculating for three decades about the reasons occurrence of peri-implantitis around dental implants. Many theories proposed since beginning 1990. Since then, profession has exposed to a vast number cases, whereas “disease” had unknown before this time. However, situation not improved because we focus more on how treat problem instead trying understand it completely. The a...

AIM The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect on peri-implant mucosal inflammation from the use of a novel instrument made of chitosan in the non-surgical treatment of mild peri-implantitis across several clinical centers. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this 6-month multicenter prospective consecutive case series performed in six different periodontal specialist clinics, 63 implants i...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to systematically review the literature on the surgical regenerative treatment of the peri-implantitis and to determine an effective therapeutic predictable option for their clinical management. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study searched MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from 2006 to 2016. Clinical human studies that had reported changes in probing dept...

BACKGROUND This retrospective study evaluated soft-tissue grafting as a surgical treatment option for peri-implantitis in case of unsuitable basic skeletal morphology of the alveolar bone and lack of keratinized mucosa. METHODS Twenty-eight patients (21 females, 7 males, at a mean age 59.4 years) were included with a total of 54 implants. All implants showed peri-implantitis and attached kera...

This clinical study reports on the results of a new method in the treatment of peri-implantitis. The surfaces of 24 plasma flame-sprayed cylindric implants in 17 patients who were diagnosed with peri-implantitis were decontaminated with a combination of toluidine blue (100 micrograms/mL) and laser irradiation at a wavelength of 906 nm. Bone defects were filled with autogenous bone using e-PTFE ...
