Every year in June, the ITI opens its Scholarship application portal. We took this opportunity to ask one of our current Scholars, Anastasiya Orishko from Ukraine, about her experience, her work and what she liked most about it. She started her Scholarship year in 2023 at the ITI Scholarship Center in Bern, Switzerland.
This review explores systemic factors associated with peri-implantitis development, focusing on smoking, hyperglycemia, and a history of periodontitis.
There are some complications related to implant therapy that can occur over time. Among them, esthetic complications are usually the most noticeable for patients. These esthetic complications can impair patients’ perception of implant therapy and possibly leave a negative impact on their quality of life. Read this article for treatment goals and approaches for the management of implant esthetic complications.
Oral neutrophil levels may potentially reflect the severity of peri-implant disease (PID) and treatment response. A single, rapid oral rinse assay is an effective means of collecting and quantifying oral neutrophil levels and may serve as an excellent tool for assessing the role of neutrophils and associated inflammatory markers in peri-implant diseases.
Peri-implantitis is regarded as a biofilm-mediated inflammatory condition that leads to progressive bone loss. The goal in the surgical therapy of peri-implantitis from the technical perspective is to shift from a negative to a positive or flat bone architecture that assists in the resolution of inflammation. Find out more on Dr. Monje’s latest article.
Abstract Various implant topographies are susceptible to peri-implantitis pathogen adherence and growth, resulting in biofilm formation. In combination with systemic, local, and implant-based risk factors, these pathogens can trigger an excessive inflammatory response in the peri-implant tissue, causing peri-implantitis onset along with hazardous bone resorption. Implant surface decontamination is an
Abstract The recently published ITI Treatment Guide Vol. 13: Prevention and Management of Peri-implant Diseases comprehensively presents diagnostic- and treatment-related aspects of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis are caused by biofilm accumulation and dysbiosis, thus decontamination of the implant/suprastructure construct is essential to re-establish peri-implant health. Non-surgical
Background Peri-implantitis is a pathological condition that occurs in the tissues surrounding dental implants. It is characterized by inflammation of the peri-implant connective tissue and progressive loss of supporting bone (Schwarz et al., 2018). A systematic review described a 22% prevalence of peri-implantitis (Derks & Tomasi, 2015). Critical analyses of
Introduction It is estimated that around 12-18 million implants are sold annually across the globe. The likelihood of a patient attending your dental practice with at least one dental implant in situ is high (Klinge et al. 2018). This reinforces the need for general dentists to acquire the knowledge and
