Microbiological and clinical outcomes of fixed complete‐arch mandibular prostheses supported by immediate implants in individuals with history of chronic periodontitis

Abstract

Total and individual counts of target species did not differ between teeth and implants for 8 months of investigation. The mean proportions of pathogenic and non-pathogenic species remained unaltered, and no clinical complications were reported over time. Data obtained suggest that immediate loading of complete mandibular prostheses retained by implants placed immediately after extraction may be a viable treatment option for edentulous individuals with previous history of periodontal disease.

Treatment of Resorbed Mandibles with Titanium Plate and Immediate Implant-Supported Prosthesis - Case Series

“…This might explain the adequate PD obtained in this study, where 100% of sites had measures >0 and ≤3 mm. The PD values of the present evaluation are comparable of those of a previous study in complete-arch implant-supported rehabilitation in which mean values between 2 and 3 mm predominated (13).…”

“…The absence of bleeding on probing (52%) predominated in the MSBi evaluation. The isolated bleeding points visible (score I, 45%) were comparable to a previous report that showed a range from 41.4 to 45.7% in this score (13). According to a follow-up of 9 to 14 years in implant treatments, PD levels and pocket formation may be more common in areas without KT (25).…”

“…History of periodontal disease was present in 85% of the patients. However, besides it has been considered a risk factor in some analysis (12), other studies presented high survival rates and no difference in the survival rates of implants placed in patients with history of periodontitis compared to patients not affected (13). The absence of bruxism, smoking habits, high hygiene limitation, radiotherapy, or initial implant stability below the recommended for immediate loading (35 N.cm) might also help to explain the absence of implant failure.…”

A systematic review on the implication of Candida in peri-implantitis

“…dubliniensis , C . glabrata , Candida kefyr and Candida norvegensis were also observed [ 20 , 24 , 26 ] (Table 4 ). The presence of Candida was variable, affecting between 10 and 71% of the implants.…”

“…Gomes et al [ 26 ] described that the quantity of Candida was bigger at 8 months was higher than that observed at 4 months after implant placement. Mencio et al [ 2 ] only observed the presence of C .…”
