Abstract

Peri-implantitis is one of the most common complications of implants. However, its pathogenesis has not been clarified. In recent years, mouse models are gradually being used in the study of peri-implantitis. This review aims to summarize the methods used to induce peri-implantitis in mice and their current applications. Articles of peri-implantitis mouse models were collected. We analyzed the various methods of inducing peri-implantitis and their application in different areas. Most researchers have induced peri-implantitis by silk ligatures. Some others have induced peri-implantitis by Pg gavage and LPS injection. Current applications of peri-implantitis mouse models are in the following areas: investigation of pathogenesis and exploration of new interventions, comparison of peri-implantitis with periodontitis, the interaction between systemic diseases and peri-implantitis, etc. CONCLUSION: Silk ligature for 2-4 weeks, Pg gavage for 6 weeks, and LPS injection for 6 weeks all successfully induced peri-implantitis in mice. Mice have the advantages of mature gene editing technology, low cost, and short time to induce peri-implantitis. It has applications in the study of pathogenesis, non-surgical treatments, and interactions with other diseases. However, compared with large animals, mice also have a number of disadvantages that limit their application.
