Therapeutic approach in periimplantitis

Abstract

Peri–implantitis is a frequent a polyetiological disease. Currently its treatment is a challenge, the treatment algorithms still being unclear. Purpose of the study: Evaluation of etiological factors of complications in implant– prosthetic rehabilitation and comparative analysis of available management methods. Materials and methods: 47 patients and 108 implants were included in the study. The parameters of interest were: gender, age of the patients, number of affected implants, spreading of peri–implantitis according to the teeth position and distribution between the jaws, possible etiological factors, distribution of defects according to Schwarz classification, level of bone resorption, applied treatment. Results: Among 34 treated implants, an improvement was achieved in 6 cases, among 72 extracted implants favourable conditions were obtained in all cases. Priority is given to maximum bone preservation and the possibility of subsequent replantation. Radical surgical treatment in extensive defects shows greater predictability than conservative treatment.
