Prevalence of Peri-implant Diseases: Analyses of Associated Factors.

Unlabelled: AIM. Identify the relationship between specific factors (age, sex, smoking, time of prosthesis in function, implant location, and width of peri-implant keratinized mucosa) and peri-implant diseases in patients from the Center of Research and Continuing Education in Implant Dentistry (CEPID) at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brazil.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 193 patients that had received 725 external-hexed cylindrical implants supporting functional prosthesis for at least 1 year (range from 1-9 years).

Risk indicators for Peri-implantitis. A cross-sectional study with 916 implants.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify systemic and local risk indicators associated with peri-implantitis.

Material And Methods: One hundred eighty-three patients treated with 916 osseointegrated titanium implants, in function for at least 1 year, were included in the present study. The implants were installed at the Foundation for Scientific and Technological Development of Dentistry (FUNDECTO) - University of Sao Paulo (USP) - from 1998 to 2012.

Does the number of implants have any relation with peri-implant disease?

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the number of pillar implants of implant-supported fixed prostheses and the prevalence of periimplant disease.

Material And Methods: Clinical and radiographic data were obtained for the evaluation. The sample consisted of 32 patients with implant-supported fixed prostheses in function for at least one year.

Prevalence of peri-implantitis in patients with implant-supported fixed prostheses.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate periimplantitis prevalence in patients using implant-supported fixed prostheses that did not have any routine maintenance care.

Method And Materials: A total of 161 implants (27 patients) were evaluated in patients using implant-supported fixed prostheses. Collected data included information related to patient general health and local factors such as characteristics of implants, time in function, type of loading, positioning, Modified Bleeding Index, bacterial plaque, bleeding on probing (BOP), marginal recession, probing depth (PD), keratinized mucosa, and radiographic bone loss (BL).

Impact of local and systemic factors on additional peri-implant bone loss.

Objective: To assess the impact of local and systemic factors on additional peri-implant bone loss.

Method And Materials: From a total of 253 patients, 193 were selected (126 women) and restored with 722 implants, in place for at least 1 year. Patients had previously attended the supportive periodontal/peri-implant therapy program at the Department of Implant Dentistry at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil.
