Mucositis, peri-implantitis, implant success, and survival of implants in patients with treated generalized aggressive periodontitis: 3- to 16-year results of a prospective long-term cohort study.

Background: The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the prevalence of mucositis, peri-implantitis, implant success, and survival in partially edentulous patients treated for generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) and in periodontally healthy individuals.

Methods: Thirty-five patients treated for GAgP and 18 periodontally healthy patients orally rehabilitated with osseointegrated implants participated in the study. They were first examined 2 to 4 weeks before extraction of the non-retainable teeth (baseline) and 3 weeks after insertion of the final abutments.

Comparison of two full-mouth approaches in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis: a pilot study.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that an additional full-mouth disinfection results in a greater clinical and microbiological improvement compared with sole mechanical debridement within one session in patients with peri-implant mucositis and treated chronic periodontitis.

Material And Methods: The study included 13 partially edentulous patients (mean age 51.5 years) with treated chronic periodontitis and 36 dental implants with mucositis (bleeding on probing and/or a gingival index > or =1 at least at one site at baseline, absence of peri-implant bone loss during the last 2 years before baseline).

Effect of age on gingival crevicular fluid concentrations of MIF and PGE2.

We used an experimental gingivitis study design to compare crevicular fluid concentrations of Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) and Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) in younger (18 to 30 yrs) and older (46 to 77 yrs) healthy adults. PGE(2) increased after 1 wk in younger participants, whereas it decreased in older individuals after 1 wk of plaque accumulation. A significant interaction between age and time was observed for PGE(2) (p = 0.

One-stage full-mouth disinfection versus quadrant and full-mouth root planing.

Objective: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the one-stage full-mouth disinfection (FMD) provides greater clinical and microbiological improvement compared with full-mouth scaling and root planing (FM-SRP) within 24 h and quadrant scaling and root planing (Q-SRP) in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis.

Material & Methods: Twenty-eight patients were randomized into three groups. 25 patients completed the study and were the basis for analysis.

Osseointegrated implants in subjects treated for generalized aggressive periodontitis: 10-year results of a prospective, long-term cohort study.

Background: The aim of this prospective 10-year study of partially edentulous subjects treated for generalized aggressive periodontitis and periodontally healthy subjects was a clinical, microbiologic, and radiographic comparison of teeth and implants and assessment of the implants' success rate.

Methods: Five subjects treated for generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) and five periodontally healthy subjects who were orally rehabilitated with osseointegrated implants participated in the study. First, they were examined 2 to 4 weeks before extraction of the non-retainable teeth (baseline) and 3 weeks after insertion of the final abutments.
