EFFICACY OF IMPLANTOPLASTY ON TREATING PERI-IMPLANTITIS

This study is to examine the definition and characteristics of peri-implant disease, with a specific focus on per-implantitis. The objective is to enhance comprehension of the subject matter and explore several highlighted management strategies. We conducted a comprehensive literature review utilizing electronic databases such as MEDLINE and EMBASE. We specifically searched for research on the use of Implantoplasty for treating Peri-Implantitis, with a focus on publications in the English language. Peri-implant diseases exhibit similar characteristics to gum disease, such as inflamed or sensitive gums surrounding the implants, as well as bleeding during oral hygiene practices. Similar to natural teeth, implants require regular dental hygiene practices such as cleaning and flossing, as well as routine check-ups by a dental professional. Additional risk factors for developing peri-implant disease include a history of gum disease, inadequate plaque control, smoking, and diabetes mellitus. Regularly examining dental implants is crucial as a component of a comprehensive periodontal assessment. Undetected preimplantation abnormality can potentially result in complete failure of osseointegration and subsequent loss of the implant.
