Peri-implant mucositis is a pathological condition characterized by an inflammatory process in the peri-implant soft tissues. Progression to peri-implantitis takes place case of bone resorption. Recently, aid for non-surgical treatment mechanical debridement (SRP) has been identified probiotics. As there are no recent studies regarding their use mucositis, aim this study was test new postbiotic...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present 12-weeks follow-up randomized clinical trial was to investigate the outcome of mechanical curettage (MC) with or without adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis in cigarette smokers. METHODS Therapeutically, subjects with peri-implant mucositis were divided into 2 groups: (a) Group-A: MC+aPDT; and (b) Group-...

As the incidence of implant placement expands, so too does the occurrence of implant-related pathological conditions such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. This article will discuss implementation of a laser protocol that serves as a treatment modality designed specifically to help save ailing and failing implants. This multi-stage approach incorporates application of laser energy...

Background This study investigated the preferences of dentists in Australia providing professional implant maintenance and implant-specific oral hygiene instructions (OHI). Methods General were surveyed online about their peri-implant diagnostics, provision, armamentarium used, OHI techniques frequency. Results Most 303 respondents (96%) provided services; 87.6% reviewed implants regularly whil...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare peri-implant health, marginal bone loss and success of immediate and delayed implant placement for rehabilitation with full-arch fixed prostheses. MATERIAL AND METHODS The present study was a prospective, randomized, single-blind, clinical preliminary trial. Patients were randomized into two treatment groups. In Group A implants were placed immediately post-ext...

Purpose To assess the prevalence of peri-implant diseases (ie, mucositis and peri-implantitis) in patients rehabilitated with full-arch, implant-supported restorations. Materials methods A search protocol was developed to answer following focus question: What is edentulous fixed or removable restorations? RCTs, controlled clinical trials, prospective studies at least 12 months follow-up a minim...

Objectives To evaluate the prevalence of peri-implant health, mucositis or periimplantitis for subcrestally placed implants (1-3 mm) on short-, medium- and long term. Material methods Two hundred patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study that treated screened during regular maintenance visits at one university center. A total 657 evaluated. Peri-implant health diseases assessed accor...

Abstract Introduction The investigation of peri-implant diseases risk indicators helps to prevent and target treatment techniques. Objective aim this cross-sectional study was determine the occurrence peri-implantitis its potential indicator factors, besides assess long-term success survival rates dental implants after 8 10 years function. Material method For this, fifty individuals who had rec...

OBJECTIVE To monitor clinical, microbiological and host-derived alterations occurring around teeth and titanium implants during the development of experimental gingivitis/mucositis and their respective healing sequence in humans. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifteen subjects with healthy or treated periodontal conditions and restored with dental implants underwent an experimental 3-week period of und...

Peri-implant infective diseases (PIIDs) in oral implantology are commonly known as peri-implant mucositis (PIM) and periimplantitis (PI). While PIM is restricted to the peri-implant mucosa and is reversible, PI also affects implant-supporting bone and, therefore, is very difficult to eradicate. PIIDs in clinical outcome may resemble gingivitis and periodontitis, as they share similar risk facto...
