“…An increasing use of dental implants in metropolitan areas and among those with higher socioeconomic background was predicted by earlier studies on dental implant awareness in different regions of India. 5 , 7 The same is not true for second-tier cities and rural communities. Therefore, a questionnaire based cross sectional survey was conducted to check the awareness and acceptability of dental implants as a permanent solution for replacement of missing teeth.…”

“…Dental implant therapy has been a well-established method to restore missing teeth [ 1 ]. Numerous studies have demonstrated that dental implants are able to increase patients’ chewing function, self-esteem, social life, and quality of life [ 2 , 3 ]. A global cross-sectional study indicated that not only are general practitioners beginning to perform implant therapy, but also those within 0–2 years of graduation had a higher percentage of placing their first implants despite acknowledging they were not yet proficient in implant practice [ 4 ].…”

Objectives This study is to investigate the referral pattern and treatment modality of dentists in the management of peri-implant diseases between periodontists and non-periodontist dentists (NPDs). Materials and methods A total of 167 validated questionnaires were obtained from periodontists and NPDs, who had experience of placing implants for at least one year. Question I to IV asked how the dentist would respond if a patient came for treatment of their peri-implant diseases with four different scenarios according to resource of patient and disease severity. For each Scenario, dentists also replied which treatment procedures they would use if they decide to treat the patient. Results Periodontal training, resource of patient, and disease severity were shown to significantly influence the referral pattern and treatment modality in the management of peri-implant disease (p < 0.05). Periodontists were more likely to use variable treatment procedures, including occlusal adjustment (OR = 2.283, p < 0.01), oral hygiene instruction (OR = 3.751, p < 0.001), topical antiseptic agent (OR = 2.491, p < 0.005), non-surgical mechanical therapy (OR = 2.689, p < 0.001), surgical therapy (OR = 2.009, p < 0.01), and remove implant (OR = 3.486, p < 0.001) to treat peri-implant diseases, compared to NPDs. Conclusion The periodontal specialty training, resource of patient, and disease severity significantly influenced the referral pattern and treatment modality of dentist treating an implant diagnosed with peri-implant disease. This study also highlighted the importance of educating basic periodontal and peri-implant disease-related knowledge to all dentists regularly performing dental implant treatments. Clinical relevance Peri-implant diseases are highly prevalent among patients with dental implants. Periodontal specialty training could enhance using variable treatment procedures to treat peri-implant diseases for dentists.

Clinical studies regarding prosthetic and periodontal conditions of rehabilitations with implant-supported fixed partial prostheses with UCLA abutment are needed. The aim of this study was to evaluate splinted posterior fixed partial prostheses on external hexagon (EH) implants, with UCLA totally castable abutments, after at least 4 years in function. The maximum bite force (MBF), patient satisfaction, the oral health impact in quality of life (OHIP-14) and marginal bone loss by radiography were evaluated. The clinical exam was performed by checking the prosthesis conditions, occlusion, periimplant tissues and implant conditions. Statistical analysis was made with Student t-test, Spearman nonparametric correlation and Kaplan-Meier estimator (=.05). Thirty-five prostheses were evaluated in 23 patients (11 men and 12 women, 41 to 90 years) with a total of 85 EH implants and follow-up of 4 to 10 years. Men presented significantly higher MBF values than women (P=.008). The data of OHIP-14 ranged from 0 to 6.64 points. Considering marginal bone loss (mean=2.3mm) and years of prosthesis in function, no correlation was observed (r=0.19, P=.27). During the clinical examination, 8 loosened and 2 fractured screws were found. The contact point was absent in 22 crowns. The plaque was present in 69 crowns. Two implants presented loss of osseointegration and were replaced before prosthesis placement. A positive correlation was found between width of keratinized mucosa and mucositis (r=0.313, P=.003). The estimated Kaplan-Meier survival rate for partial prosthesis showed 98.8% prosthesis survival and 100% implant survival. Splinted posterior prostheses with UCLA totally castable abutments screwed on EH implants are a suitable treatment option when well indicated, with prevention of parafunctional habits, besides considering the maintenance of good oral hygiene and a favorable occlusion over the years.
