Retrograde peri-implantitis describes a lesion that is periapical to an osseointegrated implant. The condition is identifiable by radiological examination and from clinical symptoms such as pain, tenderness, or the presence of a sinus tract. Multiple surgical methods have been used to resolve this disorder. is case report describes a successful treatment of retrograde peri-implantitis and the a...

Aim: The ligature-induced defect model still remains the model of first choice to experimentally investigate the cause, effect and treatment approaches of periimplantitis. It was the aim of the present in-vivo trail to revisit the ligature-induced peri-implantitis minipig model regarding its current scientific value and ethical justification in implant research. Materials and methods: Six minip...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the incidence and prevalence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis in patients with a fixed full-arch prosthesis supported by two axial and two tilted implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-nine patients were included in the study. Each patient received a fixed full-arch prosthesis supported by two mesial axial and two dista...

Implant therapy has become a widely recognized treatment alternative for replacing missing teeth. Several long term follow-up studies have shown that the survival rate is high. However, complications may appear and risk indcators associated with early and late failures have been identified. The purpose of the present retrospective clinical study was to describe some clinical features of patient...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present paper is to review available information on the treatment of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The results of animal research and human studies are presented. Proposed strategies for the treatment of peri-implantitis presented in the literature are also included. RESULTS Most of the information accessible at this time de...

PURPOSE To identify the risk of complications (eg, implant loss, infection, peri-implantitis, and mucositis) in a group of patients treated with osseointegrated implants and to assess the effect of smoking on this risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study of patients treated in the Unit of Implantology, University of Barcelona Faculty of Dentistry was performed. All patients ha...

The aim of this preliminary study is to show the effect of the biofilm decontamination approach on peri-implantitis treatment. Clinical cases showing peri-implantitis were treated using an oral tissue decontaminant material that contains a concentrated aqueous mixture of hydroxybenzenesulfonic and hydroxymethoxybenzenesulfonic acids and sulfuric acid. The material was positioned in the pocket a...

OBJECTIVES The purposes of the present study were 1) to systematically review the literature on the surgical non-regenerative treatments of peri-implantitis and 2) to determine a predictable therapeutic option for the clinical management of peri-implantitis lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study search was performed on primary database MEDLINE and EMBASE from 2005 until 2016. Sequential scre...
