Q

What are the disadvantages of a titanium implant?

Q

What is the purpose of an implant abutment?

A
  • Attaches to the implant body
  • Supports the restoration
  • Transition btw crest of the bone and oral cavity
  • Soft tissue adapts to the titanium or zirconia surface of the abutment

Q

What is osseointegration?

A
  • Implant to bone interface
  • Absence of clinical mobility
  • No pain or discomfort
  • No increased bone loss

Q

How is the implant to connective tissue interface characterized?

A

CT fibers are parallel to the implant surface
Fibers encircle the abutment like a drawstring
No PDL present
Keratinized tissue may or may not be present

Q

What is the biological seal?

A
  • Where the soft tissue (epithelium) adapts to the abutment
  • Acts as a barrier between the implant and oral cavity

Q

areWhat is the differences between the tissue interface with a natural tooth vs. a dental implant?

A
  • Implant has a biologic seal
  • Implant lacks cementum
  • CT around implant runs parallel, encircling implant
  • Implant is osseointegrated, no PDL

Q

What are the 4 periimplant diseases and conditions?

A
  1. Peri-implant health
  2. Peri-implant mucositis
  3. Peri-implantitis
  4. Peri-implant hard and soft tissue deficiencies

16
Q

What characterizes peri-implant health?

A
  • No real difference from periodontal health
  • Absence of: erythema, swelling, purulent exudate, BOP
  • Probing depths may be deeper at a healthy implant site due to orientation of CT fibers
  • Pinpoint bleeding in the absence of redness is not an indication of disease
17
Q

What is peri-implant mucositis?

A

Plaque biofilm-induced inflammation of the mucosal tissues around the implant w/ no loss of suporting bone
Reversible w/ removal of causative agent

18
Q

Diagnostic signs of peri-implant mucositis

A

Visual signs of inflammation: redness and swelling
Bleeding/supuration on probing
Increased PD compared to prior measurements
Absence of bone loss

19
Q

What is peri-implantitis?

A

Chronic plaque biofilm-induced inflammation in peri-implant mucosal tissues and progressive loss of supporting bone
Onset may occur early
Implant does not become mobile until the final stages of peri-implantitis- patient will likely be unaware of condition until mobility occurs

20
Q

Diagnostic signs of peri-implantitis

A

Visual inflammation
Presence of suppuration or BOP
Increased PD compared to past measurements
Progressive BL in successive radiographs over time
In absence of baseline PD and radiographs: radiographic evidence of bone levels >3mm and/or PD >6mm in conjunction w/ profuse bleeding

21
Q

What condition is shown here?

A

Advanced periimplantitis

22
Q

What happens to bone following tooth loss?

A

Bone resorption

23
Q

What are some hard tissue deficiencies?

A

Bone resorption following tooth loss
Lack of buccal bone
Bony dehiscence (absence of bone over the facial root surface)
Bony fenestration (bony coverage of the root surface is lost)

24
Q

What are some soft tissue deficiencies?

A

Insufficient soft tissue thickness
Inadequate keratinized tissue
Soft tissue recession
Soft tissue fenestration

25
Q

What may cause a fractured implant body like this? What is it influenced by?

A

Biomechanical overload
* Influenced by position, number of implants, and distribution of forces between implants and any remaining natural teeth
* Lack of PDL

26
Q

What is the etiology or peri-implant diseases?

A

Bacterial infection

27
Q

Etiology of periimplant mucositis

A

Plaque biofilm

28
Q

Etiology of periimplantitis

A
  • Overwhelming bacterial infection and subsequent host response.
  • Conversion from mucositis not completely understood
29
Q

Is the rate of tissue destruction more rapid in periodontal tissues or periimplant tissues?

A

Periimplant tissues

30
Q

What are the 7 species of bacterial cluster found in patients with periimplantitis?

A
  • Tannerella forsythia
  • Porphyromonas gingivalis
  • Treponema socranskii
  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • Staphylococcus anaerobius
  • Streptococcus intermedius
  • Streptococcus mitis
31
Q

Risk factors for periimplant disease

A
  • History of previous periodontal disease
  • Poor plaque control/lack of regular maintenance
  • Smoking
  • Residual cement
  • Biomechanical overload
32
Q

Signifiers of a failing implant

A

Pocketing and bleeding of soft tissue after gentle probing
Implant mobility: lack of osseointegration, loose abutment or cement failure
Severe mobility w/ pain may indicate fracture of implant

33
Q

What are the radiographic signs of a failing implant?

A
  • Vertical destruction of crestal bone around the implant while the apical portion remains osseointegrated
  • Alternately: wedge-shaped defects around the implant
  • Periimplant radiolucency
34
Q

How is probing done around implants?

A
  • No probing until healing is complete, around 3 months
  • Light force should be used since biologic seal is weakley adhered
  • Plastic probe should be used to avoid scratching surface

Not possible to define a healthy probing depth range but still essential to the exam

35
Q

How is attachment level measured for periimplant health?

A

Initial PD is recorded from the base of the sulcus to the crest of the soft tissue, then measure teh crest of the soft tissue to a fixed reference point on the implant crown margin

36
Q

How is periimplant health measured using radiographs?

A

Vertical BL less than 0.2mm annually following the first year of function
Baseline radiogrpahs should be taken on day of surgical placement, day of prosthesis insertion and then annually
Radiopaque cements should be used to ensure complete removal of excess
