BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the association between T950C (rs2073617) and G1181C (rs2073618) polymorphisms of the osteoprotegerin gene (OPG) and the susceptibility of peri-implantitis in the Chinese Han population.  MATERIAL AND METHODS 110 patients with peri-implantitis and 116 healthy persons from the Chinese Han population were included in this study using a case-cont...

BACKGROUND/AIM Peri-implantitis presents inflammatory process that affects soft and hard supporting tissues of osseointegrated implant based on inflammatory osteoclastogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK) concentrations in peri-implant crevicular fluid could be associated with clinical parameters that reflect inflammatory ...

peri-implantitis is a multi-factorial disease involving peri-implant tissues and resulting in therapeutic failure. inflammatory mediators and cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid (gcf)  have  pivotal  roles  in  the  disease pathogenesis  and  could  be  used  for  disease monitoring. therefore, the  present  study was conducted  to  compare the gcf  levels of tnf-α and il-17 between pati...

Despite the success of osseointegrated implants, failures have increased significantly, associated with development of peri-implantitis. Multiple factors influence the peri-implant bone loss, including environmental and genetic causes. BMPs (Bone morphogenetic proteins) are growth factors that induce bone formation. FGF (fibroblast growth factors) and their receptors (FGFRs) play important role...

The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of mucositis and peri-implantitis associated with the use of two types of implants-conventional versus platform switching after one year of loading. A longitudinal study of 64 implants in 25 patients was performed. Clinical variables, such as clinical pocket depth and bleeding upon probing, plaque, mobility, gingival recession, clinical a...

OBJECTIVE To assess the long-term survival of implants inserted in periodontally susceptible patients and to investigate the influence of residual pockets on the incidence of peri-implantitis and implant loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS For 70 patients, comprehensive periodontal treatment was followed by installation of 165 Straumann Dental implants. Subsequently, 58 patients entered a University ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of tetracycline in a patient with peri-implantitis. BACKGROUND Tetracycline is widely used in regeneration procedures owing to its positive effect with bone graft material, regeneration of extraction socket bone and its traditional antibacterial effect. However, there have been limited reports on bone graft procedures combined with ...

Peri-implantitis is an emerging problem, and corrective therapy requires a method for decontaminating the complex surface structure of the implant body and sterilizing the surrounding tissue. The erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser has proven to effectively allow tissue to regenerate when used for peri-implantitis. The power of the Er:YAG laser is absorbed by a water molecule; therefo...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess and compare the levels of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the crevicular fluid around healthy implants, implants with peri-implantitis, and healthy teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study evaluated 16 dental implants in 8 patients (4 males and 4 females). These patients had at least one healthy implant and one implant with peri-impla...

Peri-implantitis or Periimplantitis is characterized as an inflammatory reaction that affects the hard and soft tissue, which results in loss of supporting bone and pocket formation surrounding the functioning osseointegrated implant. This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical and non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. The data sources used was PubMed. Searches of this dat...
