ARAUJO, Fábio Andrey da Costa et al. Treatment of mucositis in patients using implant supported rehabilitation - case report. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.1, pp. 45-50. ISSN 1808-5210.

The principal complication causes of failure of implant supported restorations is related to inflammation of the peri-implant tissues support the long term. Mucositis can be defined as reversible inflammatory changes in the peri-implant soft tissues that has not undergone bone loss. The concept of mucositis refers to an inflammatory reaction reversible character without bone loss, equivalent to periodontal gum disease. It is characterized by pain, gingival bleeding, erythema and ulceration. The prevalence of complications after oral restoration with implants supported dentures hybrids is high. However, there are few studies on this type of complications, which makes it difficult to compare results and assess whether the presence of prosthetic problems is frequent or not. This work aims to realize the case of peri-implant mucositis and discuss the main methods of treatment and prevention of this disease process.
