CONCLUSIONS
Peri‐implantitis began to appear more frequently after the fifth year of functional loading, with a peak of incidence observed after the seventh year, especially between the seventh and eighth years. The incidence of peri‐implantitis increased when the data were analyzed from the fifth year to 10 years of function. Consequently, studies that consider a follow‐up period
The rate of peri‐implantitis observed in this study at 10 years, agreed with that described by Bragger et al. and Karoussis et al. in which peri‐implantitis occurred in 15.4% of the implants after a mean observation period of 10 years. Simonis et al. (2010) reported a prevalence of 16.9% of peri‐implantitis after an observation period of 10 to 16 years.
The study of de Waal et al. desc...
During the interval between the sixth and seventh year of functional loading, a slightly higher rate of failures than that in the previous years was observed.
The ratio between the rate of peri‐implant complications and the time of function was even more evident for peri‐implantitis, which showed a significant increase after the seventh year of functional loading, with a more evident increase...
The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the survival and success rates as well as the incidence of peri‐implantitis in patients with a history of periodontitis who followed an individual maintenance program and supportive periodontal and peri‐implant treatment (SPT), and with 1 to 10 years of implant functional loading.
The results obtained in the present study show that peri‐impl...
A total of 1,991 implants (475 patients) with 10 years of functional loading met the inclusion criteria and were included in this study: 90 patients were totally edentulous (559 implants), 155 patients were partially edentulous (732 implants), and 230 patients were mono‐edentulous (700 implants) (Tables 1 and 2).
Table 3 shows the life table analysis and cumulative survival and success rate and...
When a two‐stage technique was performed (i.e., sinus floor augmentation without implant insertion or staged‐approach GBR), a healing period of at least 6 months was observed before implant insertion. The implants were functionally loaded after 3 to 6 months of the implant placement.
2.3.3 Follow‐up
After surgery, for a maintenance program, all patients followed an individual SPT. The ...
Where a deficient posterior alveolar ridge and increased pneumatization of the maxillary sinus appeared, implants were inserted with simultaneous sinus floor augmentation (one‐step procedure) (osteotome technique, or lateral window technique) or after a previous sinus floor augmentation with bone grafting (two‐step procedure).
Sites that exhibited localized horizontal bone...
Successful tissue integration was examined using predefined criteria of success, as follows:
Absence of persistent subjective complaints, such as pain, foreign body sensation and/or dysesthesia.
Absence of implant mobility.
Absence of continuous radiolucency around the implant.
Implant prosthesis functional loading ≥1 year.
Absence of exude or suppuration at acupressure o...
2.2 Clinical parameters
Periodical clinical examinations assessed before treatment and during follow‐up were recorded. Clinical parameters at baseline and after prosthesis positioning were used as a reference of development of peri‐implant disease.
Based on the suggestion of Mombelli and Lang, and confirmed by the successive EWP consensus workshops published in 2008, 2011, and 2012, peri...
This is a retrospective cohort study started from the analysis of clinical records of patients referring to private dental practices in central Italy (AP) treated between February 1998 and December 2002 by three different operators, and then included into a follow‐up program. We followed the Strengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines for an accurate ...
INTRODUCTION
Implant‐prosthetic rehabilitation is a clinical procedure used to solve cases of partial or total edentulism. A functioning implant may be subject to plaque‐associated biological complications, such as mucositis and peri‐implantitis.
Peri‐implant mucositis has been described as a reversible inflammatory lesion of the peri‐implant mucosa, whilst peri‐implantitis also desc...
A retrospective cohort study on peri‐implant complications in implants up to 10 years of functional loading in periodontally compromised patients
Abstract
Background
Prevalence of peri‐implantitis is directly proportional to the time of functional loading. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the survival and success rates as well as the incidence of peri‐implantitis ...
How do we define a case of peri‐implantitis in day‐to‐day clinical practice and teaching situations?
Diagnosis of peri‐implantitis requires:
Presence of bleeding and/or suppuration on gentle probing.
Increased probing depth compared to previous examinations.
Presence of bone loss beyond crestal bone level changes resulting from initial bone remodeling.
In the a...
The following case definitions and characteristics of peri‐implant health, peri‐implant mucositis, and peri‐implantitis should be viewed within context of several potential confounding factors.
It is known that there is no generic implant and that there are numerous implant designs with different surface characteristics, surgical and loading protocols. The degree of physiological remodeli...
What are the main factors associated with hard‐ and soft‐tissue deficiencies at potential implant sites?
The healing process following tooth loss leads to diminished dimensions of the alveolar process/ridge representing hard‐ and soft‐tissue deficiencies. Larger deficiencies may occur at sites exposed to the following factors: loss of periodontal support, endodontic in...
What is peri‐implantitis?
Peri‐implantitis is a plaque‐associated pathological condition occurring in tissues around dental implants, characterized by inflammation in the peri‐implant mucosa and subsequent progressive loss of supporting bone.
What is the evidence for plaque/biofilm as a principal etiological factor for peri‐implantitis?
There is evidence ...
What are the clinical characteristics of peri‐implant mucositis?
The main clinical characteristic of peri‐implant mucositis is bleeding on gentle probing. Erythema, swelling and/or suppuration may also be present.
Does peri‐implant mucositis exist in the absence of clinical signs of inflammation?
Clinical signs of inflammation are necessary for a diagnosis of peri...
What are the clinical characteristics of a healthy peri‐implant site?
In health, the peri‐implant site is characterized by absence of erythema, bleeding on probing, swelling and suppuration.
What are the main clinical differences between healthy peri‐implant and periodontal tissues?
In health, there are no visual differences between peri‐implant and periodontal t...
The objective of Workgroup 4 was to present a classification on peri‐implant diseases and conditions. Five position papers describing the characteristics of peri‐implant health, peri‐implant mucositis, peri‐implantitis, soft and hard tissue deficiencies and case definitions and diagnostic considerations were prepared prior to the workshop.
In preparing this consensus report regarding...

Abstract
A classification for peri‐implant diseases and conditions was presented. Focused questions on the characteristics of peri‐implant health, peri‐implant mucositis, peri‐implantitis, and soft‐ and hard‐tissue deficiencies were addressed.
