Abstract

Dental implant therapy has become the prosthetic standard of care in modern comprehensive dental care. With increase in placement of dental implants, increase in prevalence of peri-implant diseases have also been reported. Two entities are described within the concept of peri-implant diseases; peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Various etiological factors are responsible for the occurrence of peri-implantitis with bacterial biofilm playing the major role. Appropriate diagnosis and timely management of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis is essential to prevent the implant loss. Variety of treatment modalities are available for management of peri-implantitis which can eliminate the disease progression and enable the restoration of optimal implant function. This narrative review provides insight of the prevalence, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of peri-implantitis with emphasis on current evidence.
