peri-implantitis is a multi-factorial disease involving peri-implant tissues and resulting in therapeutic failure. inflammatory mediators and cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid (gcf)  have  pivotal  roles  in  the  disease pathogenesis  and  could  be  used  for  disease monitoring. therefore, the  present  study was conducted  to  compare the gcf  levels of tnf-α and il-17 between pati...

Background and Objectives: Peri-implantitis is the implant equivalent of gum disease associated risk factors are similar to those periodontal disease, such poor plaque control, smoking, systemic conditions. Some iatrogenic this review discusses literature specifically investigating positive relationship that exists between peri-implantitis cement-retained restorations.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence and risk indicators of peri-implantitis in Korean patients with history of periodontal disease. METHODS A total of 444 patients with 1,485 implants were selected from patients who had been treated at the Department of Periodontology, Chonbuk National University Dental Hospital between July 2014 and June 2015. A group with a history o...

Peri-implantitis is a multi-factorial disease involving peri-implant tissues and resulting in therapeutic failure. Inflammatory mediators and cytokines in the Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) have pivotal roles in the disease pathogenesis and could be used for disease monitoring. Therefore, the present study was conducted to compare the GCF levels of TNF-α and IL-17 between patients with peri-im...

PURPOSE Peri-implantitis, a clinical term describing the inflammatory process that affects the soft and hard tissues around an osseointegrated implant, may lead to peri-implant pocket formation and loss of supporting bone. However, this imprecise definition has resulted in a wide variation of the reported prevalence; ≥10% of implants and 20% of patients over a 5- to 10-year period after implant...

Issues related to peri-implant disease were discussed. It was observed that the most common lesions that occur, i.e. peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis are caused by bacteria. While the lesion of peri-implant mucositis resides in the soft tissues, peri-implantitis also affects the supporting bone. Peri-implant mucositis occurs in about 80% of subjects (50% of sites) restored with impla...
