Implant Complications, Peri-Implantitis and Treatment Flashcards
BIOLOGY OF IMPLANT
Epithelial Attachment
(3)
2mm
Long junctional epithelium attached implant
Via basal lamina and hemidesmosomes
BIOLOGY OF IMPLANT
Connective Tissue
(3)
Parallel, circular “cuff-like” fiber bundles
Seal with a space of a 20nm wide proteoglycan layer
1-1.5mm high
Supracrestal connective tissue attachment
for Implants
– mm
3-4
Soft Tissue Assessment
(3)
Dimensions of the papilla
Probing
Dimensions of the buccal soft tissue
Osseointegration vs PDL
(2)
Periodontal mechanoreceptors
Higher stress at the neck of the screw/implant
PDL space ~

Limited in peri-implant gingival mucosa
Sources are from alveolar bone and the connective tissue
Same inflammatory response to plaque

Peri-implant mucositis
(4)
Caused by plaque accumulation.
Presence of inflammation.
Reversible condition.
Precursor of peri-implantitis.

Peri-implantitis
(4)
Caused by plaque accumulation.
Presence of inflammation.
Loss of supporting bone.
Non-reversible condition.
Peri-implant hard and soft tissue deficiencies
Contributing factors:
(6)
tooth loss, trauma, periodontitis, thin
soft tissue, lack of keratinized mucosa,
implant malposition, etc.
