Abstract

Peri-implantitis refers to the development of inflammation around the implant. Peri-implantitis refers to inflammation accompanied by uptake of bone in the submucosa. Perhaps the most serious of the symptoms of peri-implantitis is the mobility of the implant. Peri-implantitis may occur more frequently in patients with periodontitis than in patients without periodontitis. Therefore, regular checkups and plaque control are more important and important when implants are placed in patients involved with gingivitis or periodontitis. There are many factors such as plaque, calculus and smoking, which can cause peri-implantitis. However, regular plaque management can prevent and reduce the incidence of peri-implantitis. In conclusion, it is important to successfully surgery implants in patients, but preventing peri-implantitis is the success of implant treatment.
