Treatment modalities for peri-implantitis: A review of literature

Abstract

Introduction: Implant Dentistry was created to show reliable treatment approaches for restoring the oral cavity’s esthetic and function. However, while dental implants have a high long-term success rate, dental implants are exposed to mechanical or biological complications. Objective: The therapeutic approaches will be addressed in this review, which is the main objective of this study. Materials and Methods: Data sources: The PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases were used to conduct the literature search from June to September 2021. Study selection: Non-surgical and surgical peri-implantitis treatment modalities are the main themes of this study. Result: Implant dentistry was created to show reliable treatment approaches for restoring the oral cavity’s esthetic and function. However, while dental implants have a high long-term success rate, dental implants are exposed to mechanical or biological complications. Conclusion: Peri-implantitis appears to be a multifactorial disease including the patient’s host/microbe response, implant characteristics, soft tissue and the hard conditions surrounding the implant, and the dentist’s surgical and prosthetic part experience. Different treatment modalities are present today, all are used to treat peri-implantitis, such as surgery, laser therapy, and innovative treatments such as cold atmospheric pressure air plasma jet (CAPAJ), enamel matrix derivative, and PRF gel.
