BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the progression of experimental peri-implantitis in dogs using implants with different surface coatings. METHODS Thirty-six dental implants with four different surface coatings, commercially pure titanium (cpTi), titanium plasma sprayed (TPS), hydroxyapatite (HA), and acid-etched (AE), were placed in six mongrel dogs. Five months after implanta...

Background: Peri-implantitis, a bacteria-associated inflammatory disease, is characterized by inflammation of the peri-implant mucosa and progressive loss supporting bone, thereby reducing chances dental implant survival. The absence marginal bone crucial for success. aim this study to assess peri-implantitis resolution measuring rate around over period one year more than three years after surg...

AIM The purpose of the present study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of various alternatives of non-surgical peri-implantitis treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS A decision analytical model was constructed and populated with parameter estimates from recent literature for reduction in pocket probing depth (PPD) in response to eight different treatment alternatives. A micro-costing approach c...

Peri-implantitis has been defined as an inflamematory condition involving dental implants, surrounding mucosa and bone, which lose supporting bone. Although high success rates for endosseous implants have been reported, failures occur, and some implants are lost or removed. At least 10% of the failures have been suggested to be the result of peri-implantitis. One of the major causes of the peri...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this case-control study was to compare patients with a healthy peri-implant environment and patients affected by peri-implantitis, evaluating the occurrence of antibodies to extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. The authors hypothesized the presence of ECM autoantibodies in serum of peri-implantitis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were divided into two groups: on...

peri-implantitis is a site-specifi c infectious disease that causes an infl ammatory 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 commonl...

At the turn of the millennium, marketing estimates indicated that over 2 million dental implants are installed annually, and this number is expected to rise further over the next few years. It is evident that the installation of oral implants is a routine procedure in the reconstruction of fully or partially edentulous individuals. Like natural teeth, the artificial abutments penetrate the oral...

Peri-implant inflammations represent serious diseases after dental implant treatment, which affect both the surrounding hard and soft tissue. Due to prevalence rates up to 56%, peri-implantitis can lead to the loss of the implant without multilateral prevention and therapy concepts. Specific continuous check-ups with evaluation and elimination of risk factors (e.g. smoking, systemic diseases an...

PURPOSE Tissue reactions to 4 different implant surfaces were evaluated in regard to the development and progression of ligature-induced peri-implantitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 6 male mongrel dogs, a total of 36 dental implants with different surfaces (9 titanium plasma-sprayed, 9 hydroxyapatite-coated, 9 acid-etched, and 9 commercially pure titanium) were placed 3 months after mandibular ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the healing potential and reosseointegration in ligature-induced peri-implantitis defects adjacent to various dental implant surfaces following lethal photosensitization. METHODS A total of 36 dental implants with 4 different surface coatings (9 commercially pure titanium surface [CPTi]; 9 titanium plasma-sprayed [TPS]; 9 hydroxyapati...
