Objectives To evaluate the prevalence of peri-implant health, mucositis or periimplantitis for subcrestally placed implants (1-3 mm) on short-, medium- and long term. Material methods Two hundred patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study that treated screened during regular maintenance visits at one university center. A total 657 evaluated. Peri-implant health diseases assessed accor...

Introduction: One of the complications using implants in patients is peri-implantitis which occurs due to invasion Prevotella intermedia bacteria. Therefore, we need an agent that can play a role inhibiting growth these bacteria, including lime juice. Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) herbal plant often used by community traditional medicine because it contains antibacterial compounds. The purpose thi...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial activity and osteoblast-like cell viability according to the ratio of titanium nitride and zirconium nitride coating on commercially pure titanium using an arc ion plating system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Polished titanium surfaces were used as controls. Surface topography was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and surface roughn...

Aim of the study: This RCT assesses patients’ 18-month clinical outcomes after regenerative therapy periimplantitis lesions using either an electrolytic method (EC) to remove biofilms or a combination powder spray and (PEC). Materials Methods: Twenty-four patients (24 implants) suffering from were randomly treated by EC PEC followed augmentation submerged healing. Probing pocket depth (PPD), Bl...

Background: Peri-implantitis is one of many factors that can cause implant failure, with common cases ranging from 1%-47% and the highest incidence 10.7%- 47.2%. Mechanical debridement (MD) currently standard for peri-implantitis treatment. However, MD has limitations in removal infected tissue. Moreover, rough texture implant’s surface bacteria adhesion colonization increases difficulty perfor...
