Abstract:

Peri-implantitis affects 5% to 10% of implant patients, it has been a matter of concern since the inception of implants and is a major cause of late implant failure, it is unarguably one of the most significant risk factor associated with implants. Periimplantitis has been defined as an inflammatory process around osseointegrated implants in function affecting the mucosa and resulting in loss of supporting bone around the implant. It may cause bone loss leading to mobility and ultimately failure of implant. The infection may begin to affect during the initial phase of Osseo-integration and may also spread in to well- Osseo integrated implant at later stage. The good management of this pathology includes early diagnosis, knowledge of both the etiology and risk factors associated with peri-implantitis to enable their elimination, a meticulous surgical protocol, and stringent maintenance performed both professionally and by the patient. This presentation will discuss each of these elements and reviews all the aspects of per-implantitis including etio-pathogenesis, diagnosis and management.
