Peri-implantitis: associated microbiota and treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Peri-implantitis is a common complication after dental implant treatment, caused by changes in microbiological activity, necessitating a review of the microorganisms involved and treatment options.
- A literature review focused on studies published after 2000 about the microbiota in healthy patients versus those with peri-implantitis and explored recent treatment advancements through clinical studies.
- Findings reveal that the microbiota associated with peri-implantitis is more complex than in healthy conditions, primarily consisting of anaerobic gram-negative bacteria, but there is a lack of clear diagnostic and treatment criteria.
Introduction: A study is made of the usefulness of cytokines (such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interleukin-12 (IL-12)) as markers of periimplant disease (mucositis and periimplantitis). An increase in the levels of these cytokines in dental implant crevicular fluid may give rise to a lack of osteointegration, bone loss or implant failure.
Objective: To review the literature relating IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and IL-12 levels to dental implant surgery and periimplantitis.
Dental implants in patients with oral mucosal alterations: An update.

Objective: To determine whether a series of diseases of the oral mucosa - Sjögren syndrome, ectodermal dysplasia, epidermolysis bullosa and lichen planus - reduce the survival rate of dental implants.
Material And Method: A Medline search was carried out using the key words: " Sjögren syndrome ", "ectodermal dysplasia ", "epidermolysis bullosa ", "lichen planus " and "dental implants ", including those publications involving clinical series comprising more than one patient with the mentioned disorders and treated with dental implants, in the last 10 years.
Results: The study included three articles involving patients with Sjögren syndrome subjected to dental implant treatment, representing a total of 12 patients and 86 implants, with a mean pondered success rate of 86.
