Management of dental implants. Flashcards
Fiber orientation on implant v natural teeth
Teeth perpendicular attachment Implant parallel with no attachment to the implant -So PD will be deeper
What to monitor at Annual exam
Oral hygiene Inflammation Bleeding Suppuration Probe depth
Implant BOP and bone loss
Sensitivity of consistent BOP at
implants 60-100% for
progressive bone loss
Periimplant mucositis
A disease in which
the presence of inflammation is confined to
the mucosa surrounding a dental implant
with no signs of loss of supporting bone.
Perimplantitis
An inflammatory process
around an implant which includes both soft
tissue inflammation and loss of supporting
bone.
Classification of Periimplantitis
early
moderate
advanced
Early Peri-implantitis
PD ≥ 4 mm with bleeding and/or
suppuration and bone loss <25% of
implant length
Moderate peri-implantitis
PD ≥ 6 mm with bleeding
and/or suppuration and bone loss 25-
50% of implant length
Advanced Peri-implantitis
PD ≥ 8 mm with bleeding
and/or suppuration and bone loss >50%
of implant length
AAP Threshold for Periimplantitis
Radiographic bone loss ≥ 2
mm beyond normal crestal
remodeling
Peri-implant mucositis prevalence
30.7% of implants
63.4% of patients
Peri-implantitis prevalence
9.6% of implants
18.8% of patients
AAP recommended maintenance interval
6 month
Plastic instruments and implant cleaning
Majority of current evidence shows plastic
instruments are ineffective on implants
Priority = plaque removal
Types of implant complications
Prosthetic
spft tissue
hard tissue
