ABSTRACT
Peri-implantitis is a serious condition that affects the soft and hard tissues around dental implants and develops after the dental implants are placed. Effective preventative interventions include specific, continuous exams together with the identification and eradication of risk factors (such as smoking, systemic disorders, and periodontitis). Along with the features of osseo-integration, the composition and architecture of the implant surface are significant. Treatment options for peri-implant disease include a number of conservative and surgical approaches. With conservative methods, mucositis and mild cases of peri-implantitis can be effectively treated. These consist of several kinds of manual ablation, devices that use lasers, and photodynamic treatment, which can be enhanced by antibiotics, either systemic or local. Reestablishing osseointegration is possible. When peri-implantitis is progressed, surgical therapies are more successful than nonsurgical ones. The goal of this critical appraisal of literature is to give dental practitioners an overview of current data and recommendations for diagnosing, preventing, and treating peri-implantitis.
