7. Peri Implantitis Flashcards
At a site level what is Peri Implant health
No erythema
NO BOP
No swelling
No suppuration
Whats the difference between periodontal health and peri implant health
PD is higher at implants
What are the clinical methods to assess implant health
- Visual
- Probing
- Digital Palpation
Why probe implants
- Assess BOP
- Monitor change in PD and mucosal margin
- Light probing is safe
- No PD indicates health
What is histological health
Mucosa 3 - 4 mm high
Ketatinized or non keratinized mucosa
What are the histological difference between periodontal health and peri implant health
Impl: No cementum No PDL No inserting fibers Longer epithelium Less vascular
Clinical signs of peri implant mucositis
- Bleeding on probing
- Erythema
- Swelling
- Suppuration
- No BL beyond normal remodelling
Must have inflamm to diagnose mucositis
What happens to probing depth in peri implant mucositis
Increase in probing depth due to swelling or decreased probing resistance
Is there good evidence for plaque aetiology of peri implantitis
Yes
Can it resolve
How long does this take
Yes
Takes 3/12
Risk indicators for Peri implant mucositis
- Plaque Accumulation
- Smoking
- Diabetis
- Radiotherapy
What is the histology of peri implant mucositis
- Inflammation lateral to junctional epithelium
- Infiltrate rich in vascular structure
- Plasma cells
- Lymphocytes
What is peri implantitis
A plaque assoc condition in tissue around an implant associated with inflammation and bone loss
What are the clinical signs of peri implantitis
- Inflammation
- BOP
- Suppuration
- Recession
What is the histology of peri implantits
- Lesion apical to JE larger than mucositis
- Plasma Cells
- Macrophage
- Neutrophil
What are the specific bacteria associated with Peri Implantitis
None.
What is the onset and progression of peri implantitis
What comes before it
- Preceded by mucositis
- Non Linear
- Accelerating
- Faster progression than periodontal disease
What are the risk factors for peri implantitis
- History of periodontal disease
- Poor plaque control
- No maintenance
- Cement
- Occlusal Overload
- Ti Particles
- Overheat
- Micromotion
What are the causes of recession of implant mucosa
- Malposition of implant
- Lack of buccal bone
- Lack of KT
- Surgical Trauma
- Status of adjacent teeth
What is the influence of KT on peri implant health
Unknown..
Discuss the height of the gingival papilla between implants
The height of papilla determined by the crest of bone between the implants
With no previous data on a patient how do you determine peri implantitis
- PD above 6 mm
- BL 3 mm below most coronal portion of intra osseous part of the implant
What are the hard tissue deficiencies created by tooth loss
Alveolar bone loss
What are the hard tissue deficiencies created by traumatic extraction
Changes from bone remodelling
