Inflammation in periimplant tissues and factors underlying inflammation (a review)

A reduction in the number of complications following tooth implantation remains of critical importance to dentistry. All risk factors can be divided into general, including smoking, systemic diseases, patient's condition following radiotherapy, etc. and local ones comprising poor oral hygiene, periodontal disease, iatrogenic disorders, design and quality of the transgingival implant. In order to better understand inflammatory degenerative processes around dental implants researchers and dental implant manufacturers are forced to improve currently used conservative and surgical methods of treating and preventing these diseases, focusing more on risk factors for the development of peri-implantitis. The development of new surgical and prosthetic techniques, new dental implant systems will contribute greatly to increasing the life span of implant-supported dentures and improving the patient's quality of life.
