UNLABELLED While the clinical science of managing peri-implant diseases is progressing, careful monitoring and preventive care of peri-implant tissue health during maintenance is paramount. BACKGROUND Implants have become a routine treatment option for missing dentition. The biological complications of restored dental implants and associated supra-structures share similarities with the biofil...

Introduction: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects supporting tissue around the teeth which results in periodontal damage. If left untreated, can cause tooth loss. When this occurs dental implants, called peri-implantitis. Along with development of science and technology, various treatments for periodontitis peri-implantitis have also been found. One them gene th...

Background: Diabetes mellitus has been shown to be an associated risk factor for peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis become the leading cause of implant failure. Objective: To ensure postoperative efficacy diabetic patients and avoid occurrence peri-implantitis, research progress on mechanism preventive measures diabetes induced peri-implantitis were elaborated. Methods: With or DM, implant, oss...

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...

This survey aimed to estimate the subjective prevalence of peri-implantitis and its management in the private with and without board certified specialization. For this purpose, a cross-sectional postal and internet survey of 521 dentists, representing all members of the Swiss Society of Oral Implantology (SGI) was conducted (year 2010). The questionnaire consisted of four sections assessing 1) ...

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...

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...
