Summary: The study aimed to explore the feasibility of ultrasonography (US) for imaging peri-implant tissues, showing high correlations between US measurements and CBCT as well as direct readings for crestal bone thickness and facial bone level. US was found to be a useful method for evaluating peri-implant facial crestal bone dimensions, and blood flow imaging could provide valuable information on inflammation severity.

Summary: This study demonstrates the feasibility of using 3D ultrasound to measure ridge width of the jawbone. 3D ultrasound can provide a larger field of view and more accurate positioning, making it a promising tool to supplement CBCT.

Summary: In the intermediate term, peri-implant tissues, including mucosal level change of immediately placed implants with immediate provisionalization or delayed restoration, remained stable and did not differ between the groups. The final crown angle, influenced by implant position and abutment angle, might be associated with mucosal margin level change.

Summary: In this study, it was found that buccal bone thickness significantly affects the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography scans in determining the buccal bone level at dental titanium implants. Specifically, when buccal bone thickness is <= 1 mm, the detection accuracy of the buccal bone level is low.

Summary: This retrospective study investigated the association between the amount of initial physiological bone remodeling (IPBR) during the first year of implant placement and the incidence of peri-implantitis as well as the pattern of progressive bone loss. The results showed no significant association between IPBR and peri-implantitis, but splinted implants had a higher marginal bone loss rate compared to non-splinted implants from T1 to T2.

Summary: Dental implants are commonly used to replace lost teeth, and titanium implants have a high success rate. However, there is an increasing risk of peri-implantitis, an inflammatory disease that affects the tissues around the implant. This review highlights the impact of different metabolic conditions on peri-implantitis and emphasizes the importance of considering both local and systemic factors in dental implant procedures and treatment.

Summary: The study assessed hard tissue dimensional changes following implant removal due to peri-implantitis, finding that simultaneous bone regeneration procedures and the use of a removal kit can significantly reduce the impact upon dimensional changes.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of clinical and radiographic evaluations made at a single time point during follow-up. The bone levels observed at 9 years were highly accurate in identifying pronounced bone loss. In the absence of baseline documentation, a secondary case definition based on clinical findings provided the best overall diagnostic accuracy in identifying peri-implantitis cases.

Summary: The study compared the outcomes of guided bone regeneration using L-shaped porcine block bone and L-shaped bovine block bone for peri-implant dehiscence defects. The results indicate that there was no significant difference between the two in clinical, radiographic, and volumetric outcomes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis in mice and evaluate the efficacy of Resolvin D2 as a treatment modality. The results revealed that dental implants are susceptible to infection and associated with bone loss, but treatment with RvD2 can prevent the disease.

Summary: This study investigates the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with a novel visualization method (NVM) for measuring peri-implant bone thickness in living patients. The NVM proved to be valid in ex vivo experiments and allowed for accurate visual assessment of implant dimensions. However, CBCT scans alone were found to be insufficient for surgical intervention, as they often underestimated thin peri-implant bones.

Summary: The restorative design factors like restoration emergence angle and maintenance visit frequency significantly influenced the early progression of peri-implantitis. 66.3% of implants exhibited marginal bone loss within 1mm of the apical end of the internal screw, indicating a common location for peri-implant bone loss.

Summary: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the correlation between crestal soft tissue thickness and hard tissue measurements on CBCT images, and to compare crestal soft tissue thickness among different patients and edentulous site groups. The results showed that more than half of the patients had crestal soft tissues at edentulous sites thicker than 2 mm, and there was a weak correlation between soft tissue thickness and hard tissue measurements.

Summary: This systematic review estimates the overall prevalence of peri-implantitis and explores the impact of different study designs, function times, and use of probing depth on the prevalence rate. The results show that the prevalence of peri-implantitis is highly variable and the use of probing depth as a diagnostic criterion affects the prevalence data. It is important to identify diagnostic markers for more accurate disease classification.
