Background: Peri-implant disease is a multifactorial disease, with increasing prevalence in the population rehabilitated with endosseous implants and associated with numerous extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors such as systemic disease, smoking, genetic disorders, and previous periodontitis. Objective: To identify risk factors associated with the presence of peri-implant disease and to analyze whether the biofilm of the prosthesis directly influences the development of peri-implantitis. Methods: Fifty-one subjects rehabilitated with endosseous implants were included in this study. Risk factors were assessed through careful history (habit, systemic diseases, history of periodontitis). The clinical parameters evaluated were: clinical probing depth; presence of mobility; peri-implant bleeding; implant function time; .. View more»
