Peri-implant disease includes the spectrum of conditions that affect the gingiva and underlying bone at the site of implant placement. Despite the tremendous growth in fixed implant utilization over the last two decades, few implant publications address the topic of peri-implant disease from an all-encompassing approach. This article summarizes current research on the topic and provides backgro...

There are no studies evaluating the possible use of immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) as an early marker for peri-implant inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the IgA1 levels in peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF) and saliva of partially edentulous patients as an indicator of mucositis. Twenty-seven patients were examined to determine the peri-implant status based on probing depth and blee...

Although implant rehabilitations are successful, a small portion of patients may present peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis due to the bacteria biofilm formation. The purpose study was evaluate presence Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Prevotella intermedia (Pi), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) Scardovia wiggsiae (Sw) in Peri-implant gingival Fluid (PGF) who received implants 12 months ago ...

Peri-implant mucositis represents an inflammatory lesion of the mucosa surrounding endosseous implant, without loss supporting peri-implant bone. Considering its reversible nature, every effort should be made to contrast it, thus avoiding eventual progression towards peri-implantitis. The aim present randomized clinical trial is evaluate efficacy ozonized water against mucositis. A total 26 pat...

The purposes of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of peri-implant diseases; mucositis and periimplantitis of patients received dental implant at Riyadh city, KSA. In addition to the assessment of the relationship between peri-implant diseases and other related risk factors such as plaque accumulation, smoking, diabetes, and overall periodontal condition. A cross-sectional study was carri...

Introduction: The aim of this study was a retrospective clinical evaluation of the long-term prevalence of peri-implant diseases associated with a modern rough-surface dental implant system. Materials and methods: A total of 237 implants were inserted in 47 patients between 1994 and 2005. Peri-implant parameters (sulcus bleeding, pocket depth and bone loss) were evaluated at a mean of 9.1 years...

BACKGROUND The peri-implant diseases, namely peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, have been extensively studied. However, little is known about the true magnitude of the problem, owing mainly to the lack of consistent and definite diagnostic criteria used to describe the condition. The objective of the present review is to systematically estimate the overall frequency of peri-implant di...

AIM To compare the effectiveness of two anti-infective protocols for the treatment of peri-implant mucositis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-nine patients with one implant diagnosed with peri-implant mucositis (bleeding on probing [BOP] with no loss of supporting bone) were randomly assigned to a control or test group. Following an assessment of baseline parameters (probing depth, BOP, suppurat...

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...
