Perda óssea em prótese sobre implante: revisão de literatura

One of the complications that concern prosthetists is bone loss peri-implant, because the success of dental implant treatment requires long-term maintenance of hard and soft tissues around the implant. Whereby the dental implants have not only the goal of restoring function, but also the aesthetics of the patient, the bone loss peri-implant can dramatically compromise the aesthetics of rehabilitation, particularly in anterior regions. The aim of this study was to analyze and reason, through literature review, the main factors that can cause bone loss in peri-implant and possible ways to prevent it.

Higienização em prótese sobre implante

With the advances of osseointegration principles, the use of implant-supported prosthesis has become a routine treatment option. The success of an implant is initially associated to the surgical technique, primary stability and absence of bacterial contamination on the implant site. Subsequently, the absence of mechanical trauma (overload) and peri-implantitis are sine qua non conditions to the longitudinal success of implant treatment. Therefore, the strict maintenance of oral hygiene is highly important to avoid biofilm accumulation around the implant and consequently to provide last-long implant-supported dentures. The clinician has the responsibility to supply a favorable prognosis to the patient so that the rehabilitation succeed. For this reason, during prosthesis fabrication the clinician should observe the design and emergency profile of the prosthesis, the peri-implant sulcus depth as well as the presence of motor or psychological impairment by the patient. Subjects with missing teeth and that will be submitted to the implant treatment should be motivated and adequate instructed regarding oral hygiene and its importance since the best option to obtain treatment longevity and consequently patient’s satisfaction is the prevention. Therefore, this study aimed to perform a literature review about the hygiene of implant-supported prosthesis.

Manutenção em próteses implantossuportadas: peri-implantite

The identification and treatment of peri-implant infections are an essential stage in the maintenance of dental implants, reflecting the longevity of rehabilitation. Therefore, the aim of the study was to conduct a literature review addressing peri-implantitis in dental implants in order to guide planning for the longevity of oral rehabilitation. It was conducted a detailed search strategy by the PubMed / Medline Dentistry and Oral Science, it was used as descriptors: “peri-implantitis” and “Dental Implant”, until July 2013. From 566 articles, after a review, according to the inclusion criteria, 34 articles were selected. The results were grouped together in topics (concept, etiology, diagnosis, surgical and nonsurgical, and aspects of oral rehabilitation) for further discussion and conclusions. Conclusions: The accumulation of plaque has been associated with a higher propensity to peri-implantitis. There is a higher incidence of the peri-implantitis disease among patients with previous history of periodontal disease. The local administration of antibiotics and association with mouthwashes / topical use are indicated as suitable for the treatment of moderate peri-implantitis.

Periodontopathogens around the surface of mini-implants removed from orthodontic patients

Objective: To verify if mini-implant mobility is affected by the presence of periodontopathogens, frequently associated with peri-implantitis. Materials and Methods: The surfaces of 31 mini-implants used for skeletal anchorage in orthodontic patients were evaluated. Polymerase chain reaction was used for identification of the presence of DNA from three different periodontopathogens (P. intermedia [Pi], A. actinomycetemcomitans [Aa], and P. gingivalis [Pg]) in 16 mini-implants without mobility (control group) and 15 mini-implants with mobility (experimental group). Results: The results showed that Pi was present in 100% of the samples, from both groups: Aa was found in 31.3% of the control group and in 13.3% of the experimental group. Pg was detected in 37.4% of the control group and in 33.3% of the experimental group. The Fisher exact test and the odds ratio (OR) values for Aa and Pg (OR = 0.34; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.05-2.10 and OR = 0.61; 95% Cl: 0.13-2.79, respectively) showed no significant association (P > .05) between the periodontopathogens studied and the mobility of the mini-implants. Conclusions: It can be concluded that the presence of Aa, Pi, and Pg around mini-implants is not associated with mobility. (Angle Orthod. 2012;82:591-595.)

The Peri-Implant Sulcus Compared with Internal Implant and Suprastructure Components: A Microbiological Analysis

Purpose: A recent in vivo study has shown considerable contamination of internal implant and suprastructure components with great biodiversity, indicating bacterial leakage along the implant-abutment interface, abutment-prosthesis interface, and restorative margins. The goal of the present study was to compare microbiologically the peri-implant sulcus to these internal components on implants with no clinical signs of peri-implantitis and in function for many years. Checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization was used to identify and quantify 40 species. Material and Methods: Fifty-eight turned titanium Brånemark implants in eight systemically healthy patients (seven women, one man) under regular supportive care were examined. All implants had been placed in the maxilla and loaded with a screw-retained full-arch bridge for an average of 9.6 years. Gingival fluid samples were collected from the deepest sulcus per implant for microbiological analysis. As all fixed restorations were removed, the cotton pellet enclosed in the intra-coronal compartment and the abutment screw were retrieved and microbiologically evaluated. Results: The pellet enclosed in the suprastructure was very similar to the peri-implant sulcus in terms of bacterial detection frequencies and levels for practically all the species included in the panel. Yet, there was virtually no microbial link between these compartments. When comparing the abutment screw to the peri-implant sulcus, the majority of the species were less frequently found, and in lower numbers at the former. However, a relevant link in counts for a lot of bacteria was described between these compartments. Even though all implants in the present study showed no clinical signs of peri-implantitis, the high prevalence of numerous species associated with pathology was striking. Conclusions: Intra-coronal compartments of screw-retained fixed restorations were heavily contaminated. The restorative margin may have been the principal pathway for bacterial leakage. Contamination of abutment screws most likely occurred from the peri-implant sulcus via the implant-abutment interface and abutment-prosthesis interface.

10-Year Survival and Success Rates of 511 Titanium Implants with a Sandblasted and Acid-Etched Surface: A Retrospective Study in 303 Partially Edentulous Patients

Purpose: This retrospective study assessed the 10-year outcomes of titanium implants with a sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA) surface in a large cohort of partially edentulous patients. Materials and Methods: Records of patients treated with SLA implants between May 1997 and January 2001 were screened. Eligible patients were contacted and invited to undergo a clinical and radiologic examination. Each implant was classified according to strict success criteria. Results: Three hundred three patients with 511 SLA implants were available for the examination. The mean age of the patients at implant surgery was 48 years. Over the 10-year period, no implant fracture was noted, whereas six implants (1.2%) were lost. Two implants (0.4%) showed signs of suppuration at the 10-year examination, whereas seven implants had a history of peri-implantitis (1.4%) during the 10-year period, but presented with healthy peri-implant soft tissues at examination. The remaining 496 implants fulfilled the success criteria. The mean Plaque Index was 0.65 (±0.64), the mean Sulcus Bleeding Index 1.32 (±0.57), the mean Probing Depth 3.27 mm (±1.06), and the mean distance from the implant shoulder to the mucosal margin value -0.42 mm (±1.27). The radiologic mean distance from the implant shoulder to the first bone-to-implant contact was 3.32 mm (±0.73). Conclusion: The present retrospective analysis resulted in a 10-year implant survival rate of 98.8% and a success rate of 97.0%. In addition, the prevalence of peri-implantitis in this large cohort of orally healthy patients was low with 1.8% during the 10-year period.

Crestal bone loss and oral implants

A consensus meeting was arranged to critically analyze whether the high figures of peri-implantitis at machined implants that recently have been reported in the literature are valid also for modern implants.

Metastases and primary tumors around dental implants: A literature review and case report of peri-implant pulmonary metastasis

Influence of various surface treatments on reosseointegration around contaminated implants

The similarity of periodontitis and peri-implantitis demands for the utilization of similar principles for the treatment. Different decontamination methods were available cleaning of implant surfaces contaminated with bacteria. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of various decontamination methods on reosseointegration on contaminated implants. Six mongrel dogs were used. The mandibular 1st molars and all premolars were removed bilaterally. Three months later, experi- mental implants with different surface characters were installed in each sides of the mandible. The implant consisted of two parts; the implant body and an exchangeable intraosseous implant cylinder. After osseointegration, experimental peri-implantitis was induced by cotton ligatures until the bone loss reached the junction of the two segments of the implant. After debridement of the bone defects, three treatment models were performed; (i) contaminated cylinders were removed, pristine cylinders were placed; (ii) contaminated cylinders were cleaned in situ with saline and (iii) contaminated cylinders was removed, cleaned with saline, sterilized by autoclaving. All implants were covered with membranes. After 3 months, histological evaluations were accomplished. The results indicated that in situ saline therapy demonstrated a significant difference at SLA surfaces in bone-implant-contact. Treatment of contaminated implants in situ with saline resulted in resolution of peri-implantitis and bone fill in defects.

Infection at titanium implants with or without clinical inflammation

Objectives: The aims of the present study were (1)to assess the microbiota at implants in function diagnosed as having either peri-implantitis, or mucositis, or being clinically without symptoms of inflammation, (2) to identify explanatory factors to implant status. Material and Methods: Clinical and microbiological data were collected from 138 subjects (mean age: 62.3 ± 14.9) with 524 implants in function for an average of 10.8 years (S.D. +1.5). The checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization method was used to identify 40 bacterial species. Results: Subjects had poor oral hygiene with a mean % plaque score 53.2 ± 24.4. In 36% of cases periodontitis was reported as the cause for implant therapy. Mucositis was diagnosed in 61.6% and per-implantitis in 15.9% of all cases. Edentulous subjects had at implants with peri-implantitis significantly higher bacterial loads for Streptococcus sanguis (p<0.01), Fusobacterium nucleatum sp. nucleatum (p<0.02), and Leptothrichia buccalis (p<0.05) than did dentate implant subjects. Dentate subjects had higher bacterial loads of Porphyromonas gingivalis (p<0.02). The levels of Fusobacterium nucleatum sp.vincentii and Capnocytophaga ochracea were explanatory to mucositis. Only a history of periodontitis as cause of tooth loss and smoking were explanatory to peri-implantitis. The microbiota was not affect by supportive care patterns. Conclusions: Presence or absence of teeth partly explains the implant microbiota. A past history of periodontitis and smoking are associated with peri-implantitis. The microbiota at implants with mucositis, or peri-implantitis is similar to that of teeth. Supportive periodontal and implant therapy fails to have an impact on implant microbiota and does not prevent mucositis and peri-implantitis.
