Periodontal disease, peri-implant disease and levels of salivary biomarkers IL-1β, IL-10, RANK, OPG, MMP-2, TGF-β and TNF-α: follow-up over 5 years.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of salivary biomarkers IL-1β, IL-10, RANK, OPG, MMP-2, TG-β and TNF-α in individuals with diagnosis of peri-implant mucositis in the absence or presence of periodontal and peri-implant maintenance therapy (TMPP) over 5 years.

Material And Methods: Eighty individuals diagnosed with peri-implant mucositis were divided into two groups: one group that underwent periodontal and peri-implant regularly maintenance therapy, called GTP (n=39), and a second group that received no regular maintenance GNTP (n=41). Each participant underwent a complete periodontal and peri-implant clinical examination.

Could the biomarker levels in saliva help distinguish between healthy implants and implants with peri-implant disease? A systematic review.

Background: The most accurate data help to minimize possible mistakes on a patient´s evaluation, as more robust findings are necessary to establish a correct diagnosis, prognosis and, consequently, better treatment.

Purpose: Could biomarker levels in the saliva help to distinguish between healthy implants and implants with peri-implant disease?

Materials And Methods: An electronic database search of Pubmed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, OVID and Scielo was performed. The articles and abstracts identified were considered relevant if they compared cytokine levels in saliva from patients with healthy implants to those in saliva from patients with untreated peri-implantitis.

Dental Implants With Immediate Loading Using Insertion Torque of 30 Ncm: A Systematic Review.

Objective: This study aimed to perform a review of the literature regarding the survival rate of dental implants with immediate loading using insertion torque of 30 Ncm.

Material And Methods: A systematic review was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions (PROSPERO CRD42014015323). The search was performed in the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library electronic, OVID, and Scielo databases.
