Peri-implant diseases are frequent complications that occur around osseointegrated endosseous implants and are the result of an imbalance between the bacterial challenge and host response. Peri-implant diseases may affect the peri-implant mucosa only (peri-implant mucositis) or also involve the supporting bone (peri-implantitis). Early detection of peri-implant diseases and timely treatment is important for the success of dental implant treatment. Peri-implant probing is essential to assess the peri-implant health status and should be done at each recall visit. Dental practitioners should be familiar with the clinical and radiological features of both conditions in order to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment required. This article aims to provide clinicians with an understanding of the key differences between peri-implant health, peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.

This systematic review evaluated concomitant trends in microbial (total biofilm load and pre-dominant pathogens' counts) and clinical, radiographic, and crevicular variations following (any) peri-implantitis treatment in partially vs. totally edentulous, systemically healthy, non-smoking adults and compared them to peri-implant mucositis treated sites. The study protocol, compliant with the PRISMA statement, was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024514521).

Efficacy of a Surgical versus a Nonsurgical Approach in the Treatment of Peri-Implant Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

J Long Term Eff Med Implants

December 2024

Universidad Europea de Madrid, Master of Oral Surgery and Advanced Implantology, Madrid, Spain, 28045.

The objective of the study was to compare the surgical vs. the nonsurgical techniques in the treatment of peri-implant diseases and to obtain a comprehensive analysis of the effects on BOP/probing depths when applying either the surgical technique vs. a nonsurgical technique.

The long-term success of dental implants depends on the ability of soft tissues to form a protective barrier, limiting pathogen infiltration into peri-implant tissues. Here, we investigated the impact of an anodized surface modification on mucosal integration. Scanning electron microscopy and surface chemistry characterization were carried out on miniaturized implants.

Introduction: Short implants are today a reliable, minimally invasive option for the rehabilitation of the posterior maxilla. However, maintaining marginal bone stability remains a crucial factor for long-term success, particularly in the case of short implants. The present multicenter prospective case-control study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of bone-level and tissue-level short implants in the posterior maxilla, focusing on implant survival and peri-implant marginal bone stability over 1 year of function.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Active MMP-8 Point-of-Care Test in Peri-Implantitis.

Eur J Dent

December 2024

Department of Periodontology and Implant Biology, School of Dentistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece.

Aim:  This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the active matrix metalloproteinase-8 (aMMP-8) quantitative chairside point-of-care (PoC) lateral flow immunotest for peri-implant diseases, and it sought to correlate aMMP-8 levels with clinical parameters to determine its effectiveness as a biomarker for peri-implantitis.

Materials And Methods:  A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Periodontology and Implant Biology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Participants included systemically healthy individuals with at least one implant loaded for more than 1 year, who had not received periodontal treatment or antibiotics in the preceding 6 months.
