OBJECTIVES To review the literature on how implant surface characteristics influence peri-implant disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS A search of PubMed and The Cochrane Library of the Cochrane Collaboration (CENTRAL) as well as a hand search of articles were conducted. Publications and articles accepted for publication up to March 2010 were included. RESULTS Thirteen studies were selected for th...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this sub-analysis of two prospective studies was to assess the incidence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis in fully edentulous patients with an implant-retained mandibular overdenture during a 10-year follow-up period. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and fifty edentulous patients with two endosseous implants to support a mandibular overdenture were availabl...

BACKGROUND Progressive peri-implant bone losses, which are accompanied by inflammatory lesions in the soft tissues, are referred to as peri-implantitis. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and conventional technique on microbial reduction in ligature-induced peri-implantitis in dogs. METHODS Eighteen third premolars from nine Labrador retriever dogs ...

Osseointegrated implants provide predictable restorative support for crowns, restorations, prosthesis abutments, and removable dentures. Their widespread use in recent years has produced different types of complications. Retrograde peri-implantitis, a lesion occurring at the periapical area of an osseointegrated implant, has recently been described. This paper presents a series of reports descr...

Considering the significant role of implants in contemporary dentistry, practitioners must be able to acknowledge and anticipate clinical signs appropriate treatment measures peri-implant disease. The article aims provide an overview peri-implantitis, outlining its prevalence, etiology, risk factors, diagnosis, management for general practitioner. Peri-implantitis is a pathological condition us...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcome regenerative therapy peri-implantitis. 32 patients involved in with inflammatorydestructive processes field peri-implant tissues osseointegrated implants. diagnostic parameters used for assessing peri-implantitis include clinical indices, Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), Bleeding On (BOP), periimplant radiography. 16 implants mucositis, 8 early an...

in inflammatory diseases such as peri-implantitis (pi) and chronic periodontitis (cp) both adaptive and innate immunity play a part. natural resistance associated macrophage protein 1 ( nramp1 ) has considerable effects on macrophage function (phagocytosis) and host innate immune response against infections. the present study was to investigate the relationship of nramp1 gene polymorphisms with...

background. orthodontic mini-implants provide skeletal anchorage for tooth movement. there are two designs of mini-implants, tapered and cylindrical, which exhibit different clinical characteristics, including possible micro-damage to cor-tical bone. complications such as peri-implantitis and pain after mini-implant placement are common. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mini-...

Most clinical patient reports apply the biologic principles of guided bone regeneration, in addition to defect filling with autogenous bone grafts or bone graft substitutes, in peri-implantitis therapy. Not infrequently, sites with membrane coverage have revealed early exposure, with subsequent infections, premature membrane removal, and insufficient bone regeneration. The present patient repor...
