Peri‐implant diseases

Efficacy of periimplant mechanical debridement with and without adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in the treatment of periimplant diseases among cigarette smokers and non-smokers.

OBJECTIVE The aim was to assess the efficacy of mechanical debridement (MD) with and without adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in reducing periimplant inflammation among cigarette-smokers and non-smokers. METHODS Cigarette-smokers and non-smokers were randomly divided into 2 groups. In the test-group, participants underwent full mouth scaling and periimplant MD with adjunct aP...

Periimplant diseases: where are we now?--Consensus of the Seventh European Workshop on Periodontology.

BACKGROUND Peri-implant diseases present in two forms - peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The literature was systematically searched and critically reviewed. Four manuscripts were produced in specific topics identified as key areas to understand the microbial aetiology and the pathogenesis of peri-implant diseases and how the implant surface structure may affe...

Factors influencing the preservation of the periimplant marginal bone.

Esthetic outcomes cannot be attributed to a single parameter. Rather, as this article shows, they are the result of a number of important factors, especially in the esthetic zone. An understanding of the meaning of biologic width, of the integration of the platform-switching concept into implant treatment facilitates the preservation of a stable marginal bone level around the implant neck. This...

Implant Insertion Methods and Periimplant Tissues – Experimental Study

Interleukins IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 and periimplant disease. An update.

INTRODUCTION A study is made of the usefulness of cytokines (such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interleukin-12 (IL-12)) as markers of periimplant disease (mucositis and periimplantitis). An increase in the levels of these cytokines in dental implant crevicular fluid may give rise to a lack of osteointegration, bone loss or implant failure. OBJECTIVE...
