Dental implant surfaces treated with phosphoric acid can modulate cytokine production by blood MN cells

Abstract: The study characterizes dental implant surfaces treated with phosphoric acid to assess the effects of acid treatment on blood cells and correlate them with cytokine levels. The implant surfaces examined were divided into untreated metal surface (US; n = 50), metal surface treated with phosphori...

Risk factors associated with short dental implant success: a long-term retrospective evaluation of patients followed up for up to 9 years

Abstract: This multicenter study aimed to identify the different implant- and patient-related risk factors for long-term short dental implant success. Through a retrospective chart review of three centers, patient information regarding demographic variables, smoking habits, history of periodontitis, syst...

Implant-based factor as possible risk for peri-implantitis

Braz. oral res. (Online); 33 (supl.1), 2019
Abstract Peri-implantitis is currently a topic of major interest in implantology. Considered one of the main reasons of late implant failure, there is an emerged concern whether implant characteristics could trigger inflammatory lesion and loss of supporting bone. The purpose of this narrative review is ...

The impact of maintenance on peri-implant health

Braz. oral res. (Online); 33 (supl.1), 2019
Abstract Most of the literature evaluating dental implants focuses on implant survival, which is a limited proxy for the successful rehabilitation of patients with missing teeth. Success should include not only survival but also lack of mechanical, biological, and esthetics problems. A comprehensive revi...

A prospective case series on surgical treatment of circumferential and semi-circumferential defects due to peri-implantitis

Braz. oral res. (Online); 33 (supl.1), 2019
Abstract Different surgical treatment strategies for peri-implantitis with the use of graft material and membranes have been suggested without any longitudinal remarkable success rate. The present preliminary study was aimed to analyze a new clinical approach based on the disinfection of the implant conn...

Abstract The aim of this illustrated review is to present the new strategies and developments to treatment and diagnosis of periimplant diseases. Periimplant disease is a subject of great concern for modern dentistry. The numbers of implant exhibiting biological complications grows as implant dentistry e...

Treatment of peri-implant soft tissue defects: a narrative review

Braz. oral res. (Online); 33 (supl.1), 2019
Abstract Soft tissue defects around dental implants, such as papilla or volume loss, peri-implant recession and alterations of the ridge color and/or texture, lead to esthetic and functional complaints. Treatments of these defects in implants are more demanding than in teeth because peri-implant tissue e...

An umbrella review on the effects of diabetes on implant failure and peri-implant diseases

Braz. oral res. (Online); 33 (supl.1), 2019
Abstract The aim of this review is to summarize the evidence on associations between diabetes mellitus (DM) and complications around dental implants. Electronic database searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, JBI Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and...

Host response and peri-implantitis

Braz. oral res. (Online); 33 (supl.1), 2019
Abstract Considering the absence of predictable and effective therapeutic interventions for the treatment of peri-implantitis, scientific evidence concerning the host response profile around dental implants could be important for providing in the future a wider preventive and/or therapeutic window for th...
