OBJECTIVE To evaluate the presence within the peri-implant sulcus of Tannerela forsythia (Tf), Porphyromonas gingivales (Pg), Treponema denticola (Td) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), and relate these bacteria to the peri-implant crevicular fluid volume (PICFV). MATERIAL AND METHOD A prospective and cross-sectional clinical case series study was made. For the measurement of cre...

Peri-implantitis is a site-specific infectious disease that causes an inflammatory process in soft tissues, and bone loss around an osseointegrated implant in function. The etiology of the implant infection is conditioned by the status of the tissue surrounding the implant, implant design, degree of roughness, external morphology, and excessive mechanical load. The microorganisms most commonly ...

Peri-implant infections are the most common complications related to placement of dental implants. There many microbial similarities between peri-implantitis and periodontitis but due current laboratory techniques there just as differences. This review was performed assess changes in oral microbiota at sites with peri-implant disease, according state art. The presents a lower quality than perio...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of powered toothbrushes for plaque control in patients with peri-implant mucositis, in comparison with manual toothbrushes. METHODS This randomized, prospective, controlled, clinical parallel study compared the efficacy of manual and powered toothbrushes for plaque control in implant restorations. Patients with bleeding on probin...

With revolutions in biotechnology, implant surgery has become a routine therapy in the last three decades for the rehabilitation of completely or partially edentulous patients. Despite implant surgery increasing popularity and high success rates of, complications due to implant therapy are still unavoidable. Complications can occur either intra-operative or post-operative period of the surgery....

OBJECTIVES To describe the microbial profiles of peri-implant diseases and the main detection methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS A literature search was performed in MEDLINE via PubMed database to identify studies on microbial composition of peri-implant surfaces in humans published in the last 5 years. Studies had to have clear implant status definition for health, peri-implant mucositis and/or p...

The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of mucositis and peri-implantitis associated with the use of two types of implants-conventional versus platform switching after one year of loading. A longitudinal study of 64 implants in 25 patients was performed. Clinical variables, such as clinical pocket depth and bleeding upon probing, plaque, mobility, gingival recession, clinical a...

UNLABELLED While the clinical science of managing peri-implant diseases is progressing, careful monitoring and preventive care of peri-implant tissue health during maintenance is paramount. BACKGROUND Implants have become a routine treatment option for missing dentition. The biological complications of restored dental implants and associated supra-structures share similarities with the biofil...

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to retrospectively investigate the influence of potential risk indicators on the development of peri-implant disease. METHODS Overall, 103 patients referred for implant treatment from 2000 to 2012 were randomly enrolled. The study sample consisted of 421 conventional-length (>6 mm) non-turned titanium implants that were evaluated clinically and radiogr...

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate biological and prosthetic complications of cantilevered non-cantilevered fixed hybrid metal acrylic prostheses used for vertical inclined implants in atrophied mandible. Materials Methods: Eight completely edentulous individuals will be classified into 2 groups randomly: 1) Group I (cantilevered prosthesis, n=4): patients received 4 parallel each other’s the in...
