Background: Although, there are numerous treatment options, periimplantitis remains a problem in implantology that has yet to be adequately handled. Microleakage, which promotes peri-implantitis by reinfecting the implant interior areas with microbes, is one element consider. Purpose: To evaluate adequacy of antimicrobial sealing gel (Gapseal) and O-ring preventing bacterial infiltration staphy...

Object: This paper aims to evaluate the influence of dental implants coated with hydroxyapatite (HA) and implants processed by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coupling electrophoresis deposition (EPD) on experimental peri-implantitis in Beagle dogs. Methods: The thirty-six implants (diameter 3.3 mm & length 11 mm) were equally divided into three groups. Group A was processed with a plasma-sprayed lay...

The debridement treatments of dental implants are very important in longterm maintenance after implant placement in a patient. Deposition of periodontal pathogens around the implant surface has a high risk of causing periimplantitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of elimination of Porphyromonas gingivalis, known as representative periodontopathic bacteria, from titanium, whic...

The emerging literature has recently reported an alarming increase in peri-implantitis. This disease is typically described as the result of an imbalance between host response and bacterial load, supported by gram-negative anaerobic microflora. The current literature on the prevention and treatment of peri-implantitis does not allow for the extraction of applicable clinical information. In fact...

PURPOSE In literature, many studies compare survival rates of different types of FPDs. Most of them compared restorations, which originated from one university, but from different clinicians. Data about restoration survival rates by only one experienced dentist are very rare. The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of allceramic FPDs without the blurring effects of different cli...

Around 1300 different types of dental implants are available worldwide and the implant manufacturers are resorting to aggressive marketing strategies; claiming their implants to provide a superior outcome. The clinician is left with a constant dilemma on which implant to choose for better clinical outcome and welfare of the patient. Moreover, in India, economical consideration is a concern too....

Of all the 19 enterococci species present in genus Enterococcus, E. faecalis is the one that plays the most important role in dentistry. Although initially enterococci were considered to be non-virulent, they are now identified as one of the major causes of nosocomial infections worldwide. They are resistant to most antibiotics and can cause diseases such as periodontitis, peri-implantitis, pha...

This publication describes the clinical case of a 71-year-old female patient. Using polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), a critical-sized defect in the anterior mandible was regenerated using de novo-grown bone. A bacterial infection had caused a periimplantitis in two dental implants leading to a large destruc...
