The biologic process of osseointegration (bone to implant interface), in which the implant forms an intimate relationship with the bone, provides the foundation for modern dental implants. Osseointegration necessitates a varying length of healing time. Despite the high success and survival rates of dental implants, problems do occur, necessitating ongoing periodontal and prosthodontic care. This failure frequently results in "peri-implantitis," which affects the soft and hard tissues surrounding the osseointegrated implants, resulting in the formation of a peri implant pocket and bone loss. Decontamination is a difficult feature of surgical regenerative therapy for peri-implantitis that has an impact on its success. Because microbial biofilms play such a significant part in the aetiology of peri-implant illnesses, it has long been assumed that eliminating microbial pathogens would be beneficial.
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.
