THE AIM OF THE STUDY: Was to assess the effectiveness of the use of hydroxyapatite (HAP) and tricalcium phosphate (TCF) modified with hyaluronic acid in the treatment of patients with periimplantitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical studies were conducted in 128 patients (44% male and 56% female) aged up to 55 years, who sought dental care with the main diagnosis of periimplant mucositis and periimplantitis. To compare the features of osseointegration of dental implants under bone remodeling three groups of patients were formed: one control and 2 main ones. In the control group the wound was managed under a blood clot, in the first main group HAP and TCF and in the second main group HAP and TCF modified with hyaluronic acid were used. X-ray examination was performed in various modes. Clinical assessment of implant stability in the operated area was carried out using subjective (percussion and palpation method) and objective method of frequency resonance analysis using the Osstell ISQ device calculating the stability coefficient of the dental implant (SCDI). RESULTS: 12 months after the periimplant zone remodeling procedure the bone resorption rates surrounding the implant were statistically significantly the lowest in the second main group (0.682±0.006 mm, p<0.001) compared with the values in the control and first main groups (1.626±0.022 and 1.025±0.034 mm, respectively). In the former groups bone resorption continued to progress during the observation period. In patients of the second main group, the average values of the SCDI for all study periods were 68.97±1.09 units which turned out to be the highest indicator and significantly differed from the values of other observation groups (p<0.05), which may be due to a tighter fit of the implants to the surface of the newly formed bone tissue. CONCLUSION: The results of the study 12 months after the periimplant zone remodeling operation procedure prove the efficacy of HAP and TCF modified with hyaluronic acid for the treatment of patients with periimplantitis.

Common Dental and Periodontal Diseases.

Oral health is a critical component of overall health and well-being. Dental caries and periodontitis are two of the most common oral diseases and, when not treated, can have irreversible sequelae and overall psychosocial and physiologic impact on individuals, diminishing quality of life. The burden of advanced dental caries and periodontal disease leading to tooth loss is severe. Physicians and allied medical professionals can help in early detection of dental caries, abscess, and periodontal diseases and initiate management followed by prompt referral to dental colleagues.

Analysis of the application and effect of the PDCA cycle nursing management model in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis / 口腔疾病防治

Objective@#To explore the application and effect of the PDCA cycle nursing management model in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis.@*Methods @#Thirty patients with peri-implant mucositis were treated nonsurgically. Before treatment, the 30 patients had no history of systemic diseases, drug allergies, or bad habits. According to the principle of single-blind randomized control, the patients were divided into two groups: 15 patients were assigned to the control group and received routine clinical nursing and oral hygiene education according to the doctor′s prescription; and 15 patients were assigned to the intervention group, in which the PDCA cycle nursing management model was adopted. The four steps of “plan, do, check and act” were carried out. The plaque index (PL), gingival index (GI) and probe depth (PD) in the two groups were recorded before treatment and 3 and 6 months after treatment.@*Results@# There was no significant difference in the PL, GI or PD between the intervention group and the control group before treatment (P > 0.05). Three months after treatment, the PL in the intervention group was 1.25 ± 0.44, while the PL in the control group was 1.49 ± 0.39, with a significant difference (t=2.56, P=0.008); the GI in the intervention group was 1.21 ± 0.43, while the GI in the control group was 1.56 ± 0.37, with significant difference (t=2.94, P=0.006); and the PD in the intervention group was 4.39 ± 0.41 while the PD in the control group was 4.47 ± 0.52 mm, with no significant difference (t=2.24, P=0.062). Six months after treatment, the PL in the intervention group was 1.26 ± 0.48, while the PL in the control group was 1.51 ± 0.42, with a significant difference (t=2.66, P=0.007); the GI in the intervention group was 1.34 ± 0.28, while the GI in the control group was 1.74 ± 0.48 (t=2.98, P=0.008); and the PD in the intervention group was 4.46 ± 0.52 mm, while the PD in the control group was 4.54 ± 0.66, with no significant difference (t=2.28, P=0.077).@*Conclusion @#The PDCA cycle nursing management model can enhance patients′ awareness of oral health maintenance, reduce gingival plaque accumulation, and effectively improve the health status of peri-implant tissues.

Peri-implant diseases.

When celebrating 100 yr of dental research in the Nordic dental research community (i.e. Nordisk Odontologisk Förening (NOF)), it is relevant to include dental implant treatment. In essence, the successful progress of implant treatment has added both to the quality of life for patients and also to many aspects of professional development and job satisfaction for dentists. When appreciating the success story it also seems relevant to highlight some of the problems related to this treatment. Both technical and biological complications have often been ignored when reporting long-term results following implant treatment. Different opinions have been expressed in relation to the etiology of peri-implant diseases. Some even choose to ignore this condition as a clinical problem. This article presents a short overview of peri-implant diseases (i.e. peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis). The lack of internationally agreed disease definitions for peri-implant diseases, as with periodontitis, results in wide variation of estimates for the occurrence of peri-implant diseases when epidemiological data are reported. The profession still strives to find and define the best way to deal with peri-implant diseases once they are accurately diagnosed. Awareness of the tissue conditions in the peri-implant area, and relevant action when indicated, seems to be critical for the continued long-term successful outcome of dental implant treatment.

Doença periodontal e peri-implantite: existe uma relação de causalidade? / Periodontal disease and peri-implantitis: is there a relation of causality?

A reabilitação com implantes tornou–se uma prática conceituada e viável na Odontologia. Atualmente não há questionamentos sobre sua alta taxa de sobrevivência, embora com o passar dos anos, sua taxa de sucesso possa diminuir. O conceito clínico de sucesso é caracterizado pela ausência completa de sinais inflamatórios ao redor dos implantes. Existem poucos estudos avaliando se doença periodontal pode contribuir diretamente a patogênese da mucosite e perimplantite. Entre os fatores clássicos para a ocorrência de doenças periimplantares, destaca – se o histórico prévio de tabagismo, diabetes descompensada e doença periodontal. O objetivo deste artigo foi de revisar a literatura procurando demonstrar uma possível associação da periodontite com doenças Peri-implantares

Oral rehabilitation with dental implants has became a practicable and worthy pratice in dentistry. Nowadays, there is no doubt about its high succesfull rate level, although its level can decrease within the years to come. The clinical concept of succes can be defined as the complete lack of inflammatory signs around the implant. There are few studies evaluating if periodontal desease can directly affect mucositis and periimplantitis. Among with all the classic causes of periimplant deaseases, smoking history, descompensated diabetes and periodontal desease stand out as the most important of them. The main goal of this article is to revise the literature looking for a way to present a possible relation between periodontitis and periimplant deseases
