OLIVEIRA, Mariano Craveiro de et al. Periimplantitis: etiology and treatment. Rev. Bras. Odontol. [online]. 2015, vol.72, n.1-2, pp. 96-99. ISSN 1984-3747.

The peri-implantitis has been described as a pathological alteration of tissues around dental implants, and the microbiota and occlusal trauma considered its main etiological factors. The probing depth, bleeding, keratinized tissue, the flow of sulcular fluid and inflammatory infiltrate serve as parameters to evaluate the peri-implant health. Treatment of peri-implant includes mechanical debridement, oral hygiene instruction, surface detoxification deploy, use of antibiotics and resective and regenerative therapies. A correct intervention seems necessary for the resolution of the peri-implant injury.
