BACKGROUND/AIM Peri-implantitis presents inflammatory process that affects soft and hard supporting tissues of osseointegrated implant based on inflammatory osteoclastogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK) concentrations in peri-implant crevicular fluid could be associated with clinical parameters that reflect inflammatory ...

Owing to the failure of Dennard’s scaling, past decade has seen a steep growth prominent new paradigms leveraging opportunities in computer architecture. Two technologies interest are Posit and RISC-V. was introduced mid-2017 as viable alternative IEEE-754, RISC-V provides commercial-grade open source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). In this article, we bring these two together propose Confi...

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...

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...

OBJECTIVE To perform a literature review on peri-implant metastases and primary malignoma and report a case of a pulmonary metastasis around dental implants of the anterior mandibular jaw that mimicked peri-implantitis. METHOD AND MATERIALS A literature search of publications from June 1980 to June 2011 in the PubMed/Medline database was performed to collect information about the type, incide...

background. orthodontic mini-implants provide skeletal anchorage for tooth movement. there are two designs of mini-implants, tapered and cylindrical, which exhibit different clinical characteristics, including possible micro-damage to cor-tical bone. complications such as peri-implantitis and pain after mini-implant placement are common. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mini-...

AIMS Over the past decades, the placement of dental implants has become a routine procedure in the oral rehabilitation of fully and partially edentulous patients. However, the number of patients/implants affected by peri-implant diseases is increasing. As there are--in contrast to periodontitis--at present no established and predictable concepts for the treatment of peri-implantitis, primary pr...

Introduction Peri-implantitis leads to gradual peri-implant bone loss. Patients with implant supported restorations should be monitored in order to avoid extreme cases of peri-implantitis, followed by implant removal. The introduction of dental implants as a procedure to replace natural teeth lost due to dental caries, trauma or periodontal disease has been a major advance in the management of ...

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...
