Implant Maintain and Complications Flashcards
What are the success criteria for implant patients?
No mobility
No radiographic peri implantitis signs
BL <0.2mm after year 1
No pain or parasthesia
Aesthetic success
How does a dental implant compare with natural tooth?
Connection in tooth: PDL, bone, and cementum.
Connection in implant: Ankylosis
JE in tooth: HD, complex BL
JE in dental implant: HD and BL
Connective tissue: Tooth = 13 groups, implant = 2 groups
BOP is more reliable in natural tooth than implants
What is peri-implantitis caused by?
Systemic illness
Smoking
Alchohol
Occlusal problems
Iatrogenic
What causes peri-implant mucositis?
Residual cement
Poor oral hygiene
Poorly contoured restorations
How common is mucositis and peri-implantitis?
Mucositis = 48%
Peri-implantitis = 6 - 61%
How common is mucositis and peri-implantitis?
Mucositis = 48%, 63.4%
Peri-implantitis = 6 - 61%, 18.8%
What are the characteristics of peri-implantitis?
Pus formation
Plaque and PPD
Redness and BOP
Mucositis
PD > 5mm
Is peri-implantitis correlated with periodontitis?
21% correlation. Not significant.
Regular maintenance following implant placement reduced frequency of peri-implantitis to 14.3%
Why are there more complications in using implants?
Increase in number of implants placed and number of dentists placing implants.
Limited undergraduate exposure to implants
Need to learn from industry short run courses.
Placement using aggressive protocols in compromised sites
High success rates reported in the courses
What are the risk factors for complications when placing implants?
Infection
Tissue trauma
Occlusal overload
Iatrogenic
Smoking
Poor oral hygiene
History of periodontitis
Prosthesis design
Implant surface (rough has higher risk)
Bone overheating
Micromovement during healing
What iatrogenic risk factors increase risk of peri-implantitis?
Band of keratinised tissue <2mm
Polyglactin sutures (Vicryl)
Narrow implants <3.5mm
Poor placement
Operator skill (First 100 implants worst success rates)
What causes early implant complications?
Infection
What causes late implant complications?
Infection / Overload
What are the symptoms that differentiate peri-implantitis due to infection from that due to trauma?
Infection: Pain, BOP, pus, PD>7mm, High gingival index and plaque index, Granuloma
Trauma and infection: Pain in some trauma cases, mobility, and peri-implant radiolucency
What other complications can arise due to implants?
Aesthetics due to recession and gingival asymmetry
Pain
Parasthesia
