eri-implant diseases present in two forms – peri-implant
mucositisandperi-implantitis.Bothdiseasesarecharacterized
by an inflammatory reaction in the tissues surrounding an
implant. Studies have estimated that peri-implant mucositis has
a prevalence ranging from 50% to 80%, while peri-implantitis
affects approximately 12%-40% of implants and 28%-56% of
patients, respectively. In addition, it was evident that the lack of
annual supportive therapy in patients diagnosed with peri-implant
mucositis is associated with increased risk for conversion of
mucositis to peri-implantitis. Therefore, early detection of peri-
implant breakdown, as well as monitoring progression of bone
loss is extremely important. The aimof this study is to present the
clinical protocol for peri-implant diseases supportive therapy, the
clinical experience based on science. How could the diagnosis be
refined and specific in dental practice? How to predict failures?
What can we do to improve the future and minimize peri-implant
diseases rates?.
