It is all about peri-implant tissue health

Frank Schwarz et al. Periodontol 2000. 2022 Feb.

Abstract

Healthy peri-implant tissues have become synonymous with implant success and a major challenge in contemporary implant dentistry. Numerous local and systemic factors, as well as iatrogenic and other hitherto underappreciated factors of potential clinical relevance may influence the outcome of implant therapy. In this volume of Periodontology 2000, a group of outstanding experts has elaborated on the latest insights on the prevention and management of major surgical, biological and technical complications, to facilitate the establishment and maintenance of peri-implant health. This volume focusses on factors affecting early and late implant loss and the potential role of systemic diseases and local conditions. It comprehensively discusses the implementation of guided implant surgery to facilitate the cleansibility of implant-supported restorations, as well as iatrogenic factors related to bone augmentation/sinus grafting procedures. The challenges associated with soft-tissue grafting and the prevention of esthetic complications are also reviewed as the paradigm of success in implant dentistry shifts from implant survival towards a greater focus on patient-reported outcomes. Prosthetic failures remain a significant challenge and are discussed in light of new evidence, as is the relevance of the structural dimensions of the peri-implant mucosa. The volume closes with detailed and well-illustrated appraisals of the surgical management of peri-implantitis, the management and sequelae of dental implant removal, and the latest evidence for the oral health related quality of life in patients treated with dental implants.

Keywords: dental implant loss; dental implants; literature review; peri-implant diseases; peri-implant health.
