Q

Peri-implantitis clinical features

A
  • Inflammation
  • Loss of peri-implant bone
  • Mobility not characteristic but may occur at final stages
  • Suppuration frequent
17
Q

Treatment of peri-implantitis

A
  • Non surgical periodonatal therapy
  • GBR and bone graft techniques
  • Bone implant removal if bone loss extended to apical half
18
Q

How microflora of implants differs between partially edentulous and completely edentulous patients

A
  • Partially edentulous patients=>implant microflora similar to natural teeth
  • Completely edentulous patients=>microflora differs as not influenced by presence of natural teeth
19
Q

Importance of treating periodontal disease before implant placement

A
  • Necessary for the maintenance of periimplant health=>
  • Periimplantitis is difficult to treat=>
  • Preventing periodontal disease avoids complications
20
Q

Three main differences in maintenance procedures for patients with implants compared to natural teeth

A
  • Special instrumentation that will not scratch implants for calculus removal
  • Avoidance of acidic fluoride prophylactic agents
  • Use of non-abrasive prophy pastes
21
Q

Oral hygiene practices for implant patients

A
  • Ultrasoft brushes
  • Chemotherapeutic rinses
  • Tartar control pastes
22
Q

Instruments used on implants during recall appointments to avoid damage

A
  • Plastic instruments or specially designed gold-plated curettes=>calculus removal
  • Metal hand instruments and ultrasonic and sonic tips avoided=>alter titanium surface
23
Q

Polishing materials recommended for use on abutment surfaces

A
  • Rubber cup w/ flour of pumice=>
  • Tin oxide, or special implant-polishing pastes on abutment surfaces=>
  • Light, intermittent pressure to avoid damaging implant
