Peri-Implant Diseases and Gastrointestinal Diseases

ABSTRACT@#Peri-implant diseases are serious problems that plagues today’s dentistry, both in terms of therapy and epidemiology. With the expansion of implantology practice and the increasing number of implants placed annually, the frequency of peri-implant diseases has greatly expanded. The clinical manifestations, in the absence of a globally established classification, are peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, the counterparts of gingivitis and periodontitis, respectively. However, many doubts remain about their features. Official diagnostic criteria, globally recognised by the dental community, have not yet been introduced. The review presented possible association between gastrointestinal diseases and peri-implant diseases. Previous studies had revealed the association with significantly higher levels of bacteria in patient’s gastrointestinal disease at either gingivitis or in periodontitis site. Additionally, pathogenesis of the periodontitis is similar to peri-implant diseases.

Advances in Treponema denticola and oral diseases / 口腔疾病防治

@#Treponema denticola is an important pathogenic Treponema pathogen in the human oral cavity. Early studies have found that Treponema denticola is closely related to the occurrence and development of periodontal diseases. With the development of technical methods in recent years, many studies have shown that Treponema denticola not only can participate in periodontal diseases through a variety of mechanisms but also can play an important role in the development of various oral diseases. Treponema denticola is detected in high concentrations in peri-apical diseases and peri-implant diseases, and its surface protein is also prevalent in oral tumor samples. This paper reviews the research progress of Treponema denticola in periodontal diseases, pulp peri-apical diseases, peri-implant diseases and oral tumors, and summarizes the relevant mechanisms. For example, Treponema denticola can cause immune regulation disorder, destroy the epithelial barrier, induce bone absorption, promote the occurrence and development of inflammation through a variety of surface proteins, including chymotrypsin-like protease complex (CTLP), major outer sheath protein (Mosp), Td92, and LOS. It can also escape complement-mediated killing effects through surface FhbB lipoproteins and promote the occurrence and development of oral tumors by regulating the tumor microenvironment. These theories provide a theoretical basis for further understanding the development of oral diseases, controlling the infection of Treponema denticola, and exploring more effective treatment strategies.

2018 world new classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions / 中华口腔医学杂志

World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions was held in Chicago on November 9 to 11, 2017. More than one hundred experts from all over the world attended the conference and updated the 1999 classification of periodontal diseases and conditions, and developed a similar scheme for peri-implant diseases and conditions. The case definitions and diagnostic criteria were also established to aid clinicians in the use of the new classification. Nineteen review papers and four consensus reports covering relevant areas in periodontology and implant dentistry were simultaneously published in special issue of Journal of Periodontology and Journal of Clinical Periodontology in June 2018. This paper summarizes the new classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions, and briefly introduce the changes made to the 1999 classification.

Effects of various prophylactic procedures on titanium surfaces and biofilm formation

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of various prophylactic treatments of titanium implants on bacterial biofilm formation, correlating surface modifications with the biofilms produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, Staphylococcus aureus, and bacteria isolated from saliva. METHODS: Pure titanium disks were treated with various prophylactic procedures, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to determine the degree to which surface roughness was modified. To evaluate antibiofilm activity, we used P. aeruginosa PAO1, S. aureus, and saliva-isolated Streptococcus spp., Bacteroides fragilis, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. RESULTS: AFM showed that the surface roughness increased after using the air-polishing device and ultrasonic scaler, while a significant reduction was observed after using a curette or polishing with Detartrine ZTM (DZ) abrasive paste. In addition, we only observed a significant (P < 0.01) reduction in biofilm formation on the DZ-treated implant surfaces. CONCLUSION: In this study, both AFM and antibiofilm analyses indicated that using DZ abrasive paste could be considered as the prophylactic procedure of choice for managing peri-implant lesions and for therapy-resistant cases of periodontitis.

Peri-implantite: tratamentos e manutenção peri-implantar ­ parte 2* / Peri-implantitis: treatments and maintenance ­ part II

Objetivo: orientar os profissionais a diagnosticar as doenças peri-implantares, conhecer suas características, avaliar os fatores de risco e escolher tratamentos adequados para cada situação. Material e métodos: a busca foi realizada nos bancos de dados Medline e EBSCO, entre 1992 e 2013, limitada aos artigos completos publicados em língua inglesa. Todos os níveis de evidência foram incluídos (relato de caso, experimentos em animais, revisões bibliográficas e estudos estatísticos com humanos). Resultados: o principal agente etiológico das doenças peri-implantares ainda é a placa bacteriana. No entanto, fatores de risco sistêmicos e locais influenciam no seu desenvolvimento. Os principais microrganismos presentes nas infecções peri-implantares são os mesmos encontrados na periodontite: bactérias gram e anaeróbicas. O tratamento não cirúrgico sozinho não apresentou resultados satisfatórios, contudo, quando associado com antisséptico bucal ou antibiótico, reduz a infecção. O tratamento cirúrgico permite o debridamento acurado da região peri-implantar, a descontaminação da superfície do implante e resulta em ganho de inserção clínica e reconstrução óssea. Conclusão: até o presente momento, nenhum protocolo padrão de tratamento da peri-implantite foi estabelecido. A prevenção e a manutenção do controle de placa através da higienização são eficazes em manter a baixa incidência das doenças peri-implantares.

Objective: to guide professionals on the diagnosis, identification, risk factor evaluation, and adequate treatment selection for peri-implant diseases. Material and methods: a literature search was made on the Medline and EBSCO electronic databanks within 1992 and 2013, limited to articles published in the English language. All evidence levels were included (case reports, animal experiments, reviews, and statistical studies in humans). Results: the main etiological agent is still bacterial plaque. However, local and systemic risk factors influence the development of peri-implantitis. The main microorganisms in peri-implant diseases are the same found for periodontitis: gram bacteria and anaerobes. The surgical treatment performed as a single measure did not present satisfactory results; nevertheless, when associated to antibiotics or oral anti-septic products, the infection levels were reduced. The surgical treatment allows for accurate debridement of the peri-implant site and implant surface decontamination, with clinical gains on attachment and bone reconstruction. Conclusion: until the present moment, there is no standard protocol for peri-implant treatment. Prevention of plaque build-up and maintenance through hygiene measures are efficient to reduce the incidence of peri-implant diseases.

Peri-implantite (Parte I): etiologia, características e diagnóstico / Peri-implantitis: causes, characteristics and diagnosis

A peri-implantite é uma infecção dos tecidos ao redor do implante que resulta na perda do osso de suporte. Alguns fatores locais e sistêmicos influenciam na evolução desta doença e seu tratamento pode ser cirúrgico ou não. O objetivo desta revisão bibliográfica foi orientar os profissionais a diagnosticar as doenças peri-implantares, conhecer suas características e avaliar os fatores de risco. O estudo bibliográfico foi realizado utilizando os bancos de dados Medline e Ebsco, no qual o período de referência foi entre 1992 e 2013. A pesquisa foi limitada a artigos completos publicados no idioma inglês. Todos os níveis de evidência foram incluídos, tais como relato de caso, experimentos em animais, revisões bibliográficas e estudos estatísticos com humanos. De acordo com a revisão bibliográfica o principal agente etiológico das doenças peri- implantares ainda é a placa bacteriana, no entanto, fatores de risco sistêmicos e locais influenciam no seu desenvolvimento. Os principais microrganismos presentes nas infecções peri-implantares são os mesmos encontrados na periodontite, ou seja, bactérias gram e anaeróbios. Contudo, nenhuma definição evidente da microbiota associada com a peri-implantite foi estabelecida até o momento, dificultando um diagnóstico mais preciso e a determinação do protocolo de tratamento. O tratamento não cirúrgico isoladamente não apresentou resultados satisfatórios, no entanto, quando combinado com antibiótico oral ou antisséptico reduziu a infecção peri-implantar. O tratamento cirúrgico permite o debridamento exato da área contaminada peri-implantar do implante, o que resulta em ganho de inserção clínica e reconstrução óssea. Até a presente data, nenhum protocolo de tratamento padrão foi definido para peri-implantite.

Peri-implantitis is an infection of the tissues around the dental implant resulting in loss of supporting bone. Many local and systemic factors influence the development of the disease and its treatment can be surgical or non-surgical. The purpose of this literature review is to guide professionals to diagnose peri-implant diseases, knowing their characteristics, assess to risk factors and choosing appropriate treatments for each situation. The literature search was performed using Medline and Ebsco database and the period between 1992 and 2013. The search was limited to full-text articles published in English. All levels of evidence were included such as case report, animal experiments, literature reviews and statistical studies with humans. According to literature review the main etiological agent of peri-implant diseases still is the plaque, however, systemic and local risk factors influence its development. The main present microorganisms in the periimplant infection are the same found in periodontitis such as Gram- and anaerobic bacteria. However, no clear definition of the microbiota associated with the peri-implantitis has been established yet, making a more accurate diagnosis and determination of the treatment protocol. The non-surgical treatment alone did not show satisfactory results, however, when combined with oral antibiotic or antiseptic reduces peri-implant infection. Surgical treatment allows accurate debridement of the peri-implant area, decontamination of the implant surface and results in gain of clinical attachment and bone reconstruction. To date, no standard treatment protocol of peri-implantitis.
