• Management of peri‐implant mucositis and peri‐implantitis (2014) · doi

  Peri-implant diseases are defined as inflammatory lesions of the surrounding peri-implant tissues and include peri-implant mucositis (an inflammatory lesion limited to the surrounding mucosa of an implant) and peri-implantitis (an inflammatory lesion of the mucosa that affects the supporting bone with resulting loss of osseointegration).

• The medically compromised patient: Are dental implants a feasible option? (2018) · doi

  Although dental implants are applied in medically compromised patients, it is often not well known whether this therapy is also feasible in these patients, whether the risk of implant failure and developing peri-implantitis is increased, and what specific preventive measures, if any, have to be taken when applying dental implants in these patients.

• Clinical Evaluation of Pink Esthetic Score of Immediately Impressed Posterior Dental Implants (2022) · doi

  PURPOSE: While comparative outcome results for peri-implant crestal bone levels, mucosal margin position, and peri-implant indices have been reported, no studies are available that evaluate and compare the esthetic result of impressions performed immediately at implant placement with that of impressions performed on healed implants.

  Keywords: implant peri impressions performed purpose comparative outcome crestal bone levels mucosal margin position indices reported
• The association between three attitude‐related indexes of oral hygiene and secondary implant failures: A retrospective longitudinal study (2017) · doi

  Conclusion Within the limitations of this study, all three attitude‐related behavioural indicators—the plaque index ( PI ), bleeding on probing ( BOP ) and abnormal probing pocket depth ( PPD )—proved to be significant risk indicators for secondary implant failure due to peri‐implantitis, both from a clinical and from a socio‐psychological attitude‐related perspective.

• Peri‐implantitis: Knowledge and attitudes of implantology clinicians regarding the disease management (2024) · doi

  OBJECTIVES: Since peri-implantitis is an increasing and prevalent concern in clinical practice and there is no consensus regarding the best therapeutic protocol, this study evaluated the knowledge and behaviours of dentists working in Implantology regarding implant-related infections modulating factors and therapeutic protocols used in the management of peri-implantitis.

• Supportive care for the prevention of disease recurrence/progression following peri‐implantitis treatment: A systematic review (2023) · doi

  Insufficient evidence is available to identify (i) a specific supportive care protocol for secondary prevention of peri-implantitis, (ii) the effect of adjunctive local antiseptic agents in the secondary prevention of peri-implantitis and (iii) the impact of frequency of supportive care measures.

  Keywords: supportive care secondary prevention peri implantitis insufficient evidence available identify specific protocol effect adjunctive local
• Unraveling the effectiveness of antibiotics for peri‐implantitis treatment: A scoping review (2023) · doi

  PURPOSE: The aim of this review was to critically appraise the literature on the use of antibiotics to treat peri-implantitis, with the ultimate goal of supporting evidence-based clinical recommendations, defining gaps in knowledge and guiding future studies on this topic.
