Mechanical and repeated antimicrobial therapy using a local drug delivery system in the treatment of peri-implantitis: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory process caused by microorganisms affecting the tissues around an osseointegrated implant in function, resulting in a loss of supporting bone. Limited data exist regarding the treatment of peri-implantitis. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and microbiologic outcome of repeated local administration of minocycline microspheres, 1 mg, in cases of peri-implantitis.

Surgical treatment of peri-implantitis using a bone substitute with or without a resorbable membrane: a prospective cohort study.

Objectives: The aim of this prospective cohort study was to compare two regenerative surgical treatment modalities for peri-implantitis.

Material And Methods: Thirty-six patients having a minimum of one osseointegrated implant, with a progressive loss of bone amounting to > or =3 threads (1.8 mm) following the first year of healing, combined with bleeding and/or pus on probing, were involved in this study.

Submerged healing following surgical treatment of peri-implantitis: a case series.

Objectives: The aim was to study a regenerative surgical treatment modality for peri-implantitis employing submerged healing.

Material And Methods: Twelve patients, having a minimum of one osseointegrated implant with peri-implantitis, with a progressive loss of >or=3 threads (1.8 mm) following the first year of healing were involved in the study.

Infection at titanium implants with or without a clinical diagnosis of inflammation.

Objectives: To assess the microbiota at implants diagnosed with peri-implantitis, implant mucositis, or being clinically healthy.

Material And Methods: Clinical and microbiological data were collected from 213 subjects (mean age: 65.7+/-14) with 976 implants in function (mean: 10.

Nine- to fourteen-year follow-up of implant treatment. Part III: factors associated with peri-implant lesions.

Objective: The aim of the present paper was to analyse, on patient and implant basis, factors related to peri-implant lesions.

Material And Methods: Two hundred and eighteen patients treated with titanium implants were examined for biological complications at existing implants 9-14 years after initial therapy. The effects of several potentially explanatory variables, both on patient and on implant levels, were analysed.

Nine- to fourteen-year follow-up of implant treatment. Part II: presence of peri-implant lesions.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyse the proportions of peri-implant lesions at implants after 9-14 years of function.

Material And Methods: Two hundred and ninety-four patients underwent implant therapy during the years 1988-1992 in Kristianstad County. These individuals were recalled to the speciality clinic 1 and 5 years after placement of the suprastructure.

Nine- to fourteen-year follow-up of implant treatment. Part I: implant loss and associations to various factors.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term result of implant therapy, using implant loss as outcome variable.

Material And Method: Two hundred and ninty-four patients had received implant therapy (Brånemark System) during the years of 1988-1992 in Kristianstad County, Sweden. The patients were recalled to the speciality clinic 1 and 5 years after placement of the suprastructure.
