Peri-Implantitis Diagnosis and Prevention Flashcards
PERI-IMPLANTITIS
“a plaque-associated pathologic condition occurring
in tissue around dental implants, characterized by
inflammation in the peri-implant mucosa and
subsequent progressive loss of supporting bone”
NEW CLASSIFICATION

Peri-implant health
Peri-implant mucositis
Peri-implantitis
Peri-implant hard and soft tissue deficiencies

Absence of erythema, bleeding on
probing, swelling and suppuration.

TOOTH VERSUS IMPLANT: Epithelial Attachment
Similarities with –
Long junctional epithelium attached implant ~
tooth surface
2mm long
via basal lamina and hemidesmosomes
TOOTH VERSUS IMPLANT: Connective Tissue
Similarities to —
Differences with —
fiber bundles:
A space of — wide proteoglycan layer
— rich but cell poor
Supracrestal connective tissue zone —high
tooth surface
tooth surface
Parallel, circular “cuff-like”

TOOTH VERSUS IMPLANT: Soft Tissue Assessment

Probing
Dimensions of the buccal soft tissue
Dimensions of the papilla
Probing force –
0.25N
TOOTH VERSUS IMPLANT: Osseointegration vs PDL (2)
Periodontal mechanoreceptors
Higher stress at the neck of the screw/implant
Implant patients
have less awareness
of occlusal
interferences
Timed occlusal contacts

TOOTH VERSUS IMPLANT: Vascularity
(3)
Vascularity in peri-implant gingival mucosa is limited
Vascularity in connective tissue under sulcular/junctional epithelium is similar
Inflammatory response to plaque is the same way
