Abstract
A peri-implant infection is a disorder with an annually increasing prevalence and incidence as a result of the increasing number of oral implants utilized. Based on existing literature, a patient-control study was carried out, as a pilot study, among patients who had been treated with oral implants at a department of oral and maxillofacial surgery in a general hospital. Significant relations were found between on the one hand the prevalence of peri-implantitis and on the other hand bone augmentation, a suprastructure of a fixed partial denture or a complete removable overdenture on a ball attachment mesostructure when compared to a crown, poor oral hygiene, poor periodontal condition, and the absence of keratinized mucosa surrounding the implant.
