Final; Dental Implants Infections Flashcards
What is the pattern of early microbial colonization in regards to titanium implants and teeth
They follow the same pattern
What is the main difference between plaque build-up regarding implants and teeth
with increasing the duration of plaque build up (3 months) the duration of the peri-implant mucosa expands more and progresses further “apically
than in the case of the gingiva
What is the difference between peri-implantitis and periodontitis
peri-implantitis is a microbial heterogenous infection with predominantly gram-negative species and is less complex
True or False
the peri-implant micro biome differs significantly from the periodontal community in both health and disease
true!
What type of etiological factor is occlusal trauma regarding peri-implant disease
a PRIMARY etiological factor
This can create complications for peri-implant disease
bruxism
What are 4 possible risk factors for peri-implant disease
smoking
uncontrolled systemic disease (effect on healing)
radiation therapy
patients with a history of periodontitis
What are two etiological factors involved in tooth loss
deficiency in immune response
genetics
What is the difference between peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis
PIM - only at soft tissue level; like gingivitis
PI - bone loss around implant
What is the difference between early and late implant complications
early - before loading
late - after loading
What can cause an ailing implant
Peri-implantitis or Peri-implant mucositis
What can cause a failing implant
Peri-implantitis
What can cause a failed implant
Peri-implantitis with mobility and complete loss of osseointegration
This is the reversible inflammation of the mucosa surrounding the implant
peri-implant mucositis
What clinical manifestations are indicative of PIM
- presence of bacterial plaque and calculus
- edema, redness, and mucosal hyperplasia
- bleeding on probing
- exudate or pus formation on occasions
- no radiological evidence of bone resorption
The peri-implant mucosa seems less effective than the gingiva in what
encapsulating plaque-assocaited lesions; thus, the existence of gingivitis is riskier for implants
This is an inflammatory reaction associated with loss of supporting bone around an implant in function
peri-implantitis
PI lesions are characterized by what
the presence of numerous neutrophils in the tissue surrounding the implant (not seen in periodontitis)
In PI, there is direct contact between what
plaque on the implant surface and the inflamed connective tissue (not seen in periodontitis)
PIM occurs in what percentage of patients
75%
What are the 6 clinical factors used to evaluate peri-implant health
- absence of motility
- radiographic examination
- absence of bone loss ≥0.2mm/year follow the first year
- absence of any pain, complaint, or infection
- functional and esthetic acceptance of implant
- a success rate of 94-98% following 5 years, and 90-94% following 10 years
