The implant therapeutics for management of edentulous span has revolutionized dentistry. This is accompanied by many
complications as well. Peri implant interface as well as the tissues are not immune to complications arising from poor
surgical, prosthetic or long/short maintainance resulting in the peri implant destruction of soft and hard tissues. This peri implant breakdown
surfaces as Peri implant mucositis and Peri implantitis. The management of these complications is feasible if timely and correct diagnosis is
established resulting in the success of implants. This article attempts to assess the risk factors for peri implant diseases, establish a thorough
diagnosis that could act as a blueprint for management of peri implant lesions. The prophylactic measures to prevent the beginning of the lesion is also highlighted in this review.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
