Peri-implantitis 3 articles

Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition around a dental implant associated with progressive loss of supporting bone. Diagnosis draws on peri-implant probing, bleeding or suppuration and radiographic change, while risk factors and prosthetic access influence management. Non-surgical and surgical approaches may be considered, but the category remains distinct from peri-implant mucositis, which does not include the same progressive bone loss.
