A thorough examination of the intricate components of peri-implantitis was sought in this review in order to identify common characteristics of the disease with regard to bacteria, biofilm formation, host immunological responses, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic treatments. The aim of this study was to provide a detailed overview of the different bacterial species associated with peri-implantitis, a clinical condition similar to periodontitis, characterized by a higher prevalence of staphylococci and enteric bacteria. The study underscores the importance of employing sophisticated diagnostic methods like cone beam computed tomography. It covers a range of therapeutic approaches including surgical and non-surgical techniques as well as strategies stressing host-modification and photodynamic treatment.
