Filter by:Given the novelty of this risk assessment tool, this study will be interested in evaluating its effectiveness through a retrospective approach. The IDRA risk will be analyzed at the time of loading the implant (s) in patients who have already placed an implant (s) during the last five years at the Department of Periodontology and Oral Surgery using the information collected from the periodontal file previously completed. Therefore, patients whose IDRA has been calculated will be called for a clinical and radiological examination to verify the development or not of peri-implantitis or the loss of the implant. In this way, this tool for predicting peri-implant disease will be evaluated to see if it is really effective.
Introduction: It seems that some local and systemic factors can be associated with an increased incidence of peri-implant diseases. Predisposing to an increase inflammatory response when plaque is present. There is still controversy on which factors can be considered as risk indicators. One of them is the keratinized mucosa width (KM), that seems to facilitate plaque control around implants. Objectives: Assess the relationship between keratinized mucosa and the recurrence of mucositis, comparing bleeding on probing (BOP) in implants with mucositis for 24 weeks after implant disinfection therapy, the control group is defined by having KM ≥ 2 mm and the test group KM < 2 mm. Material and methods: 38 patients presenting one single implant each with a single screw retained crown loaded for at least 1 year. Periodontal maintenance therapy will be performed and oral hygiene instruction will be delivered. Follow up visits will be after 8, 12 and 24 weeks in which the following parameters will be registered: Keratinized Mucosa width, Attached mucosa, Gingival Index, Vestibule Depth, Mucosa Thickness. Probing Pocket Depth, Recession, modified Plaque Index, Bleeding on Probing, modified Bleeding Index. Also a microbiologic test will be taken in the implant sulcus before the periodontal maintenance therapy and at 24 weeks. A multilevel statistical analysis will be conducted comparing the control and the test group, adjusting for the correlation among multiple observations.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the potential benefit of the adjunctive use of an air-polishing device in the treatment of peri-implantitis as compared to mechanical infection control alone. Following establishment of adequate patient-performed infection control, 80 patients diagnosed with moderate/severe peri-implantitis at ≥1 implant will be randomized to one of two groups. Non-surgical and, if required, surgical therapy will be carried out by experienced operators in three clinical centers and the mechanical instrumentation (control group) will be supplemented by the use of air-polishing with erythritol powder (AirFlow Master, EMS, Nyon, Switzerland) in the test group. The primary outcome assessed is "pocket closure" (ie probing pocket depth ≤5 mm & absence of profuse bleeding on probing) after non-surgical (6 months) and surgical therapy (18 months). Secondary outcomes include changes of clinical signs of soft tissue inflammation, adverse events and patient-reported outcome measures. Outcomes of non-surgical therapy will be evaluated at 3 and 6 months. Sites with remaining pathology at 6 months will be subjected to surgical therapy.
In this study, the effect of photodynamic therapy (indocyanine green mediated) on the clinical, biological and inflammatory aspects was assessed in diabetic patients having peri-implantitis
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of peri-implantitis in human im-munodeficiency virus (HIV) -positive patients and the presence of a possible correlation between the immunological profile and serological values, of peri-implantitis, and of pos-sible differences between all-on-4 and single crown/bridge prostheses. Subjects and methods: This retrospective study included 58 adult HIV-positive patients (222 implants) with either all-in-4 prostheses or single crowns/bridges on at least one dental implant loaded for more than a year who were followed for at least one year. Data pertaining to the probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing, and immunological and systemic profile were collected. Results: Patients with single crown/bridge implant rehabilitation showed higher preva-lence of peri-implantitis (34%) than patients with all-on-4 rehabilitation (0%) (p=0.012). Patients with all-on-4 rehabilitation were significantly older than those with single crowns/bridges (p=0.004). Patients with peri-implantitis had implants for a significantly longer duration than those without (p=0.001), implying that the probability of peri-implantitis increases as the age of implant increases. Conclusions: The prevalence of peri-implantitis was 26% in HIV-positive patients and 8% in dental implants. No correlation was found between patients' immunological and se-rological factors and peri-implantitis. The most important risk factor for peri-implantitis and mucositis was implant age.

Objectives: In recent years, a new field of work has been created with the use of laser beam to provide titanium surface decontamination. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of various laser systems in smokers and non-smokers with peri-implantitis. Materials and Methods: According to the study protocol, patients, who were diagnosed with peri-implantitis based on the clinical and radiographic evaluations, were divided into six groups: Group 1: smokers undergoing diode laser application; Group 2: smokers undergoing Erbium, chromium: yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet (Er, Cr:YSGG) laser application; Group 3: smokers undergoing Erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser application; Group 4: non-smokers undergoing diode laser application; Group 5: non-smokers undergoing Er, Cr:YSGG laser application; and Group 6: non-smokers undergoing Er:YAG laser application. Peri-implant sulcus depth (SD), clinical attachment level (CAL), suppuration, modified plaque index (mPI), gingival index (GI), and modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI) were recorded and peri-implant sulcus fluid (PISF) was collected to evaluate osteocalcin.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate interleukin-1(IL-1) gene group polymorphisms in patients with peri-implantitis and to compare them with patients with peri-implant health (control group), taking into account smoking status, gender, age and history of periodontitis.The aim of this investigation is also to look at the levels of the inflammatory response markers IL-1 beta, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) in the peri-implant crevicular fluid of patients with healthy oral implants in comparison with individuals with peri-implantitis, under consideration of the patients´ individual IL-1 genotype. The main hypothesis is that individuals carrying the polymorphism in the IL-1 gene cluster are susceptible to develop peri-implantitis through altered IL-1 and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) production. A second hypothesis is that both in healthy individuals and especially pronounced in patients having peri-implantitis, an IL-1-positive genotype will result in higher levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1 beta, PGE2 and TNF alpha) than an IL-1- negative genotype. Patients included in the study will be recruited from the Dental Clinic Egas Moniz implant maintenance program and will only be used for this study. All possible candidates will receive a questionnaire and if the patient's medical history is in accordance with study inclusion criteria, and if they agree to participate, informed consent will be signed. All clinical data will be collected by the same examiner. Genes IL-1A and IL-1B control the production of the proinflammatory proteins, IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta, respectively. IL-1RN gene controls the synthesis of the IL-1Ra, which impedes the function of IL-1alpha and IL-1beta by competing for receptor binding. Polymorphisms of the following genes will be analyzed: IL-1A-889, IL-1B + 3954, IL-1B-511 and IL-1 RN from patients with peri-implantitis and peri-implant health. For the investigation of genetic polymorphisms, it will be collected a sample of cells from the jugal mucosa with the aid of a swab. For the biochemical analysis of the inflammatory mediators IL-1 beta, TNF alpha and PGE2 a peri-implant crevicular fluid collection will be performed by inserting paper strips into peri-implant sulcus or pocket, in situations of peri-implantitis from the most affected location, while in situations of peri-implant health from the mesio-buccal location.
The aim of the study is to investigate the correlation between the assumption of systemic medications (such as SSRI, PPI, anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-hypertensive drugs) and the failure of dental implant therapy in terms of occurrence peri-implantitis and/or implant failure. The clinical records of all subjects treated with dental implants during the period between January 1st, 2005, and December 31st, 2020 in the Dental Clinic of the IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Galeazzi (Milan, Italy) will be screened for inclusion. Inclusion criteria: i) subjects who were 18 years old or older at the time of intervention; ii) subjects who provided their informed consent for the intervention iii) patients with total or partial edentulism treated with dental implants; iv) patients with at least 6 months follow-up, beginning from the date of placement of the prosthesis. Exclusion criteria: i) incomplete data (e.g. absence of periapical radiographs) Descriptive statistics will be provided by means of mean values and standard deviations. Correlation between baseline parameters and outcomes will be provided through logistic regression. Survival tables and Kaplan-Meier analysis will be elaborated for survival analysis, considering the occurrence of implant failure and the diagnosis of peri-implantitis as events. Cox regression analysis will be used in order to evaluate the influence of the use of each drug on survival curves. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. The sample size was calculated in order to evaluate the hazard risk of patients exposed to each specific drug (SSRI, PPI, Anti-inflammatory drugs or anti-hypertensive) compared to non-exposed patients. The ratio of exposed/non-exposed patients is expected to be 1:4 in the cohort. On the basis of a hypothesized 5-year incidence of peri-implantitis of 0.16, HR = 2, and a 10% dropout rate, the sample should be made of 358 subjects (72 exposed + 286 not exposed).
Various treatment protocols of peri-implantitis involving surgical therapies with open flap debridement procedures, resective or reconstructive modalities have been documented to achieve variable success. Surgical non-reconstructive approaches have been suggested to have limited effectiveness in terms of the resolution of inflammation in the long term. Therefore, much more interest has been intensified regarding the efficacy of biomaterials used in reconstructive approaches. The aim of this study was to investigate the 3-year clinical/radiographic outcomes of reconstructive surgical therapy of peri-implantitis using a bone substitute combined with two different bioresorbable barrier membranes, either collagen membrane (CM) or concentrated growth factor (CGF). A total of 52 patients who had at least one implant diagnosed with peri-implantitis and needed to be scheduled for reconstructive therapy of a peri-implant infrabony defect were included. Peri-implantitis case was defined as increased probing depth (PD) compared to previous examinations with bleeding on probing (BOP) and/or suppuration and radiographic evidence of peri-implant bone loss beyond crestal bone level changes resulting from initial bone remodeling. The patients were randomly assigned to receive a bone substitute filling in combination with either CM or CGF. Intrabony components were filled with a bone substitute (BioOss spongiosa granules; Geistlich, Wolhusen, Switzerland) and covered with a CM (Bio-Guide, Geistlich Biomaterials) or CGF membrane. The plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), BOP, PD, clinical attachment level (CAL), mucosal recession (MR) and radiographic vertical defect depth (VDD) values were evaluated at 1 and 3 years postoperatively.
