PERI-IMPLANTITIS: ETIOLOGY, DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Dental implants are considered to be effective and predictable treatment options for replacing missing teeth, with good long-term
success rates. Peri-implantitis is one of the complications of implant treatment, which may lead to implant failure. The etiology of
peri-implantitis is multifactorial, with microorganisms playing a major role in its development. An early diagnosis and intervention
should be established for effective management of peri-implantitis. Even though different treatment strategies may have been
employed, some with successful outcomes, long-term evaluation to assess the validity and reliability of the treatment techniques may
be needed
