Assessment of Cases of Peri- Implantitis- A Clinical Study

ABSTRACT

Background: The present study was conducted to evaluate peri- implantitis around dental implants. Methods: The present retrospective study was conducted on 60 patients of both genders with 90 dental implants. Pocket depth (PD) around the implant and around the teeth adjacent to the implant was calculated. Gingival recession (GR) was calculated. Clinical attachment loss (CAL) was calculated by adding GR and PD. Intraoral periapical radiographs (IOPAR) were taken to evaluate peri- implantitis. Results: Out of 60 patients, males were 35 and females were 25. In 35 males, 45 dental implant and in 25 females, 45 dental implants were present. The mean probing depth (PD) around implant was 4.26± 1.20 and adjacent teeth was 3.40± 1.32. The difference was significant (P- 0.01). Gingival recession (GR) around implants was 0.56± 0.98 and adjacent teeth was 0.86± 1.35 (P- 0.02). Clinical attachment loss (CAL) found to be 4.26± 1.32 around implant, 4.03± 1.32 around adjacent teeth. The difference was non- significant (P- 0.07). Conclusion: Periodontal diseases affect the outcome of dental implant treatment. Thus periodontal status should be healthy especially in the region adjacent to implant site.
