Implant complications, Periimplantitis and Treatment Flashcards
implant tissue is divided into:

peri implant mucositis in patients that are not adhering to supportive implant therapy is as high as:
48%
patients that adhered to a strict maintenance protocol had a prevalence of peri implantitis in the range of:
20%
in partially edentulous patients a lack of adherence to SIT within the overall patient sample was associated with onset of peri implantitis with an odds ratio of:
5.92
what is considered in material and surface characteristics of implant components
- evidence on the effect of implant surface roughness peri implant mucositis is limited
- studies looking at highly machined implant abutments and bleeding on probing showed little difference
- there was no difference in BOP between titanium and zirconium abutments either
accessibility of biofilm removal around implant supported prosthesis plays an important role in:
the prevention and management of peri implant diseases
the location of the implant margins has an impact on:
inflammation with supragingival margins being associated with decreased inflammation
is grafting of keratinized mucosa necessary to maintain peri implant health
no
what is excess cement associated with
- clinical signs of peri implant mucositis
- higher prevalence of peri implant mucositis in patients with cemented prostheses compared to screw retained prostheses
what is peri implant mucositis
an inflammatory lesion of the peri implant mucosa in the absence of continuing marginal bone loss
what is peri implant mucositis caused by
a disruption of host microbe homeostasis at the implant mucosa interface
peri implant mucositis is a ____ condition at the _____
reversible; host biomarker level
what are the factors associated with peri implant mucositis
- biofilm accumulation
- smoking
what is an important preventive strategy for peri implant mucositis
regular supportive peri implant therapy
what is the tissue response to microbial challenge at the 3 week mark
inflammatory lesions in the gingiva and peri implant mucosa
- similar location, size and apical extension
what is the tissue response to microbial challenge at the 3 month observation
- similiar composition to 3 week observation but different apical extension
- peri implant mucosa extended further apically
what is peri implantitis
a more advanced inflammatory disease that exhibits deep probing depths (greater than or equal to 5mm), BOP, and/or purulence, and radiographic evidence of peri implant bone loss beyond that typically associated with remodeling during healing
peri implantitis is a ___ condition occurring in _______ chracterized by_______
pathological; tissues around dental implants; inflammation in the peri implant mucosa and progressive loss of supporting bone
what are the clincal findings in peri implantitis
- soft tissue inflammation
- BOP

determination of prevalence of peri implantitis is complicated by:

- definition of peri implantitis
- PD greater than or equal to 6mm, 2.5mm radiographic bone loss, BOP or suppuration
- number of exposed threads afer 1 year or longer of occlusal loading
- diversity of implant designs
the prevalence of peri implant diseases showed that _____ of peri implant tissues had some form of inflammatory response and a prevalence of peri implantitis from _____-
