Over half of dental implant patients may develop peri-implant diseases within a decade, according to a recent Journal of Periodontology study.

A generation ago, many people who lost teeth due to age-related complications typically wore dentures. Now, dental implants ...

ZimVie Inc. has announced the publication of a scientific study indicating that the surface texture of its premium dental implants may reduce the risk of peri-implant infections compared to other ...

“The prevalence of peri-implant mucositis (inflammation) and peri-implantitis has been on the rise in recent decades,” said Hai Bo Wen, Research Director at ZimVie.

These surfaces not only exhibit bacterial adhesion levels comparable to machined surfaces but also demonstrate crestal bone maintenance akin to rougher surfaces.* "The prevalence of peri-implant ...

Treatment of peri-implant mucositis was effective regardless of whether the treatment was performed with an Er:YAG laser or an ultrasonic scaler. Fewer diseased sites were diagnosed at six months ...

Peri-implant diseases, including peri-implant mucositis (PIM) and peri-implantitis, are a chronic inflammatory disorder triggered by bacterial biofilm in susceptible hosts. Potential risk factors for ...

Peri-implant mucositis (PIM) is a pathological precursor of peri-implantitis, but its pattern of conversion to peri-implantitis is unclear and complicated to diagnose clinically, while none of the ...

ABSTRACT: Peri-implant diseases, such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, pose significant challenges to the long-term prognosis of dental implants. This study aimed to comprehensively ...

The diagnosis of peri-implantitis needs careful differentiation from peri-implant mucositis, as the bacterial flora associated with periodontitis and peri-implantitis are found to be similar.
