Early Apical Peri-implantitis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Etiology of Early Apical Peri-implantitis: A Case-control Study Over a 20-year Period.
A case-control study was performed was performed following the STROBE statement from 1996 to 2016 including patients who were diagnosed with early apical peri-implantitis. Data were collected at the time of implant placement, and once the patients developed signs and symptoms consistent with early apical peri-implantitis, to determine the frequency and etiology of this pathology.
A case-control study was performed following the STROBE statement (17) at the Oral Surgery
Department, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry (University of Valencia, Spain) from 1996 to
2016, in which patients with early peri-implantitis diagnosed were included (Figure 1). All
patients were informed about the study design and procedures. Prior to participating, they
were requested to sign an informed consent document. The study design was approved by the
Ethical Committee of the University of Valencia (H1478255958653).
Two groups were established: Test group (patients diagnosed with early apical
peri-implantitis diagnosed) and Control group (patients whose implants had not developed any
inflammatory/infectious process and were osseointegrated).
