Effect of Supportive Peri-implant Care After Treatment of Peri- Implant Diseases: A Systematic Review.

This PRISMA-compliant systematic review aimed to investigate the effect of supportive peri- implant care (SPIC) on peri-implant tissue health and disease recurrence following the non surgical and surgical treatment of peri-implant diseases. The protocol of this review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023468656). A literature search was conducted to identify investigations that fulfilled a set of pre-defined eligibility criteria based on the PICO question: what is the effect of SPIC upon peri-implant tissue stability following non-surgical and surgical interventions for the treatment of peri-implant diseases in adult human subjects? Data on SPIC (protocol, frequency, and compliance), clinical and radiographic outcomes, and other variables of interest were extracted and subsequently categorized and analyzed.

Diagnostic methods/parameters to monitor peri-implant conditions.

The diagnostic accuracy of clinical parameters, including visual inspection and probing to monitor peri-implant conditions, has been regarded with skepticism. Scientific evidence pointed out that primary diagnostic tools (chairside) seem to be highly specific, while their sensitivity is lower compared with their use in monitoring periodontal stability. Nonetheless, given the association between pocket depth at teeth and implant sites and the aerobic/anaerobic nature of the microbiome, it seems plausible for pocket probing depth to be indicative of disease progression or tissue stability.

Electrolytic Surface Decontamination in the Reconstructive Therapy of Peri-Implantitis: Single-Center Outcomes of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Surface decontamination in the reconstructive therapy of peri-implantitis is of paramount importance to achieve favorable outcomes. The objective of this single-center study derived from a large multicenter clinical trial was to compare the electrolytic method (EM) used as an adjunct to mechanical decontamination, to hydrogen peroxide (HP) also used as an adjunct to mechanical decontamination, in the reconstructive therapy of peri-implantitis. At 12-month (T2) follow-up, 19 patients (Nimplants= 23) completed the study.

Peri-implantitis and maxillary sinus membrane thickening: A retrospective cohort study.

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the association of peri-implantitis (PI) and sinus membrane thickening and to assess the resolution of membrane thickening following intervention (implant removal or peri-implantitis treatment) aimed at arresting PI.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five patients with 61 implants in the posterior maxillary region were retrospectively included in the study. Twenty-four patients were diagnosed with peri-implantitis (PI) and 21 had peri-implant health (PH).
