This paper aims to associate dental cement materials excess in peri-implant tissues with peri-implantitis development. Systematic bibliographic research into different databases, such as PubMed, Proquest, Science Direct, and Cochrane, has been made using specific searching terms such as "peri-implantitis AND cement", "mucositis AND cement", and "dental implant failure AND cement", from January 2007 to December 2017. The articles were preselected, taking into account the criteria of inclusion and exclusion.

Methods: Twenty-nine patients diagnosed with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis, selected according to specific criteria, were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: quadrant scaling, full-mouth scaling, and full-mouth scaling supplemented by systemic antibiotics. Antibiotic selection was based on the results of individual susceptibility testing.

The occurrence of bacterial strains resistant to different antimicrobials is a growing problem in Latin American countries. The aim was to measure the antimicrobial susceptibility of Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia and Prophyromona gingivalis, isolated from chronic periodontitis patients. Twenty-five patients diagnosed with generalized- moderate or advanced- chronic periodontitis were consecutively recruited from patients attending the Periodontal Specialist Program, Javeriana University, according to specific criteria, including no recent antibiotic consumption.
