INTRODUCTION Peri-implantitis is a late complication of dental implant treatment, induced by microbiological changes. Since the disorder is frequent, a review is indicated of the microorganisms that influence it and of the existing treatment options. OBJECTIVE To conduct a literature review of the microbiota associated to peri-implantitis and the existing treatment options. MATERIAL AND MET...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to review the pertinent literature with reference to the clinical efficacy of antibiotics in the treatment of peri-implantitis. METHODS To address the focused question 'Are locally and systemically delivered antibiotics useful in the treatment of peri-implantitis?' PubMed/Medline and Google-scholar databases were explored from 1992 until February 20...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between patients with a history of periodontitis and development of cement-related peri-implant disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-seven patients with 129 implants for this retrospective analysis were selected from completed implant cases that were scheduled for regular maintenance or had experienced mechanical or biol...

Background: Human beta-defensins (HBDs), epithelial-derived antimicrobial peptides, contribute to gingival health and periodontal disease. Particularly, the upregulation of HBD-3 expression in tissues is described tissue regeneration. Specifically, But there has been insufficient investigation inner epithelium peri-implantitis, especially HBD patterns as protection against oral infection. Objec...

Although high success rates for root-form endosseous implants have been reported, failures occasionally occur, and these implants must be removed. At least 10% of the failures have been suggested to be the result of peri-implantitis. There is some evidence that periodontal pathogens, mainly those belonging to the group of gram-negative anaerobic rods, play a role in the etiology of peri-implant...

Aim: To review the literature on the prevalence and incidence of peri-implantitis. Methods: Out of 322 potentially relevant publications we identified 29 articles concerning 23 studies, with information on the presence of signs of peri-implantitis in populations of at least 20 cases. Results and Conclusions: All studies provided data from convenience samples, typically from patients who were tr...

Peri-implantitis is a site-specific infectious disease that causes an inflammatory process in soft tissues, and bone loss around an osseointegrated implant in function. The etiology of the implant infection is conditioned by the status of the tissue surrounding the implant, implant design, degree of roughness, external morphology, and excessive mechanical load. The microorganisms most commonly ...

INTRODUCTION There are numerous studies supporting the high success rate of dental implants used for reconstruction of missing teeth. However, complications like mucositis and peri-implantitis are increasingly reported. Placement of dental implants in partially edentulous patients is associated with the risk of peri-implant diseases, especially when an old or a new inflammatory lesion is presen...

PURPOSE To evaluate the success of treatments aimed at the resolution of peri-implantitis in patients with osseointegrated implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS The potentially relevant literature was assessed independently by two reviewers to identify case series and comparative studies describing the treatment of peri-implantitis with a follow-up of at least 3 months. Medline, Embase, and The Coc...
