Peri implantitis
The Dark Side
• Incidence of Peri-implant mucositis and
Peri-implantitis is as much as 47%!!

• Failure of Implants by Chronic Inflammation
include Functional loss, Phonetic and
Esthetic Challenges

• Professional Challenge
Similarity with
Periodontal Diseases
• Host Response to Bacterial Insult
• Initial Event is Inflammation of Pocket
Epithelium without CT or Bone
Destruction - Reversible = Gingivitis

• Chronic Inflammation and Risk Factors =
Periodontitis
Implant Related Periodontal
Diseases
• Peri-Implant Mucositis
• Peri-Implantitis
Peri-Implant Mucositis
• The presence of inflammation

confined to the soft tissues around
the implant - No sign of bone loss.

• Presence of probing >4mm with
bleeding or suppuration

• Reversible
Peri-Implantitis
• Inflammatory process around and implant

including soft tissue and progressive loss of
supporting bone beyond biological bone
remodeling.

• Probing depth >4mm with bleeding,

suppuration and radiographic bone loss
Peri-Implantitis

Probing depths >4mm with bleeding, suppuration
Radiographic loss of bone beyond remodeling
Prevalence:
Peri-Implant Mucositis
Peri-Implant Mucositis
• Berglundh, Renvert:

48% of all implants over 9-14 yrs affected.

• Prevalence may be higher - Previous

Dogma of Not Probing around Implants
Reduced Identification
Prevalence:
Peri-Implantitis
Peri-Implantitis

• Wide Range: from 4.7% to 36.6%
• The Threshold used is Bone Loss. No
standarized radiographic analysis.

• Additionally Factors such as Smoking,

Diabetes, Previous Periodontal Disease
create subpopulations and complicate
comparisons of studies.
Periodontal Anatomy
Anatomy of a Tooth
• Junctional Epithelium has Hemidesmosomal
attachment to enamel

• Connective tissue array of 1mm thickness with
attachment to Cementum

• Alveolar Bone with Perpendicular Fibers attaching
to Cementum overlying Dentin

• Vast Source of Nutrients and Cells for

Regeneration of Ligament, CT, Cementum, Bone
Cementum
• Acellular and Cellular containing

cementoblasts provide support on the
tooth side to anchor sharpy’s fibers

• Periodontal Ligament space provides

nutrient supply and cells for Regeneration
Anatomy of an Implant

• Junctional Epithelium attached to titanium

surface by basal lamina and hemidesmosomes

• At apical portion of sulcus is only a few cell
layers thick and separated from bone by 12mm

• No Cementum - Bone to Implant Contact
• Connective tissue between JE and Bone few
vascular structures and few Fibroblasts
Pathogenesis
Peri-Implant Mucositis
• Plaque formation of titanium surface and
formation of biofilm. Gram (-) Anaerobic

• Inflammatory infiltration occurs in CT
• Neutrophils, lymphocytes, macrophages in
high numbers

• Adaptation of JE to Inflammation
Peri-Implantitis
Peri-Implantitis

• Inflammatory - bacterial driven destruction
of the implant supporting apparatus.

• Chronic Inflammation starting as PIM
• Inflammatory Cell Infiltrate more Severe
with Implants vs. Teeth

• Rate of Disease Progression Faster with
Implants
Peri-Implantitis
• The difference in collagen fiber orientation
(parallel to implant and perpendicular with
teeth) and less vasculature structure may
explain the faster pattern of tissue
destruction with peri-implantitis.
Influential Factors
• Patient Related - systemic diseases, history
of Periodontal Disease

• Social Factors - Poor OH, Smoker, Heavy
alcohol consumption

• Parafunctional Habits - Bruxism,
Malocclusion
Smoking
• Baig and Rajan found in smokers

significantly more marginal bone loss after
placement and higher Peri-Implantitis
percentages.
Previous Periodontitis
• Significant correlation with increased
prevalence of Peri-Implantitis
Genetic Factors
• Significant correlation with

Interleukin1gene polymorphism and PeriImplantitis.

• Plagnat - proposed markers for Elastase

and alkaline phosphatase may be helpful in
future diagnosis of bone destruction.
Health Status
• Diabetes Type I and II if uncontrolled lend
to increased inflammatory Response and
Peri-Implantitis
Occlusion
• Non-axial forces, cantilevers, bruxism
• H.L.Wang et al - occlusal overload

positively associated with Peri-Implantitis

• Likely excess strain causes microfracture
within bone.
Additional Influential
Factors -You’re to Blame
• Implant Design
• Prosthetic Connection
• Mechanical Failures and Cement
Contamination

• Surgical Errors
Implant Design
• Smooth titanium vs. Roughened
surfaces

• Smooth Cervical collar vs. Surface
texture to coronal margin

• Thread Design - aggressive vs. passive
Implant Design Connection
• External Hex
• Internal Hex
• Morse Taper
• Platform Switch
Platform Design
• Crestal Bone loss begins when healing

abutment is attached to implant at second
stage surgery (Nobel implants - Ericsson J.
Clin. Perio 1995)

• Burglund and Lindhe identified 0.5mm

inflammation above and below Branemark
implants at abutment/implant junction after
2 weeks.
Peri implantitis
Microgap and Platform
Switching
• Move the microgap away from the implant
platform and hence away from the crestal
bone as a protective measure.
Peri implantitis
Restorative Problems
• Excessive Cantilever
• No Passive fit
• Improper fit of abutment
• Improper prosthetic design, occlusal scheme
• Premature Loading, Overtorquing
• Connecting implants to Natural teeth
Peri implantitis
Mehcanical Failures
Fractured Implants
Loosening of Screws
Retained Cement
Surgical Placement
• Off Axis Position - severe angulation,
• Lack of Initial Stabilization
• Infection from improper flap design
• Overheating bone
• Spacing too close to teeth or implants
• Inadequate bone or attached gingiva
• Too Buccal or Lingual and compromise bone
Inadequate Attached
Gingiva
Inadequate Buccal Bone
Space Between Teeth
and Implants
Head of Implant
ANGULATION
Buccally Positioned
Heat Generation
• Eriksson and Albrektsson reported the

critical temperature for implant placement
was 47C for 1 minute.

• Matthews and Hirsch demonstrated that

temperature elevation was more a result of
force applied rather than drill speed.
Diagnostic Criteria
• Probe all implants - Plastic or Metal
• Look for Bleeding and or Suppuration
• X-rays should be taken yearly first two

years and compared to base line placement

• Evaluate Occlusion, Prosthetic Stability
• Soft tissue evaluation - Attached Gingiva?
Probing
Probe Long Axis
Accessibility
• Adjust Prosthesis
• Plaque Control
• Biofilm Removal
How do you Probe
this?
Remove Prosthetic
Bone Level
Attached Gingiva?
Treatment Options
• Early Detection is Key to Success and
improved health!

• Non-surgical Intervention
• Surgical Intervention
Non-Surgical - Studies

• Mechanical Debridement with plastic instruments

and Chlorhexidine irrigation showed reduction of
pocket and bleeding at six months - Schwartz

• Antiseptic irrigation of pockets <4mm not

effective, but over 5mm it has added effect.
Renvert

• Adjunctive use of generalized antibiotics did not
improve the treatment results
Peri-Implant Mucositis Transmucosal

Peri-implant Mucositis
• Application of Minocycline spheres along

with debridement provide some additional
benefit to reducing bleeding and probing,
but NEEDS TO BE REPEATED OFTEN.
Renvert
Clinical Treatment of PIM
• Mechanical Scaling of Implants with plastic or
titanium instruments or Ultrasonic Plastic
Tips. I-Brush if exposed threads.

• Apply exposed implant surface with 0.2%
Chlorhexidine gauze for 2 mins

• Subgingival irrigation with 0.2%
Chlorhexidine 5ml per implant

• Minocycline Spheres or Gel
Peri-Implantitis
Treatment Options
Treatment Options
• Visualization with open flap very effective
with cementitits!
Peri-Implantitis
• Treatment to be determined by amount of bone

loss and esthetic impact of the implant in question

• If minimal bone loss (3 threads or less) Proceed

with similar treatment as Peri-implant mucositis,
but decontaminate prosthetic components as well.
The use of various lasers has been suggested.

• If bone loss is advanced or progressive than

surgical access with resective or regenerative
components will need to be employed.
Peri-Implantitis
Non Surgical - Studies
Non Surgical - Studies

• 31 Subjects mean age 62
• One qualifying implant per patient
• PPD >4mm with bleeding or suppuration
• < 2.5mm bone loss
• J. Clin. Perio 2009 Renvert
Non-Surgical
• Titanium hand instrumentation
• Or Ultrasonic Debridement with plastic tip
• 6 month results - minimal change with PD
for either treatment modality
Laser Therapy Er:YAG
• SRP with plastic instruments and 0.2%

chlorhexidine followed by Er:YAG 20sec
disinfection per implant

• Control was only SRP and antiseptic rinse
• Six months later Equal Reduction of Pocket
and Clinical Attachment

• Twelve months later both groups lost effect
Peri-Implantitis with Er:YAG vs.
Air-Abrasive device

• 42 Patients mean age 69
• Laser 55 implants
• Perio Flow 45 implants
• PPD >5mm with bleeding or suppuration
• > 3mm bone loss
• J. Clin Perio 2011, Renvert
Results
• Remove Supra-Structure from Implants!
• Significant difference in PD bleeding and

Pus reduction for both groups at 6 months

• Both seem to have limited benefit in
advanced cases
Open Flap - Resective
• Surgical flap access and resection of 1 or 2 wall
defects combined with decontamination and
antibiotic treatment was effective in just over
half the cases over 5 years. Leonhardt 2003

• 2008 Hitz-Mayfield with flap surgery and

resection and antimicrobial treatment stopped
the progression of the disease in 90% of cases
up to one year - However, BOP continued in
50% of the lesions.
Regenerative Surgery
• Schwartz (2008) found combination bone

grafting debridement and antibiotics had
significant reduction of bone loss and BOP
after 2 years.

• Froum (2012) Significant reduction of BOP,

Pocket reduction, bone loss over 3-7 years.
Submerged Healing • 16 implants in 12 patients
• Open Flap and 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
• Bone Graft and Membrane
• Submerged healing
• Roos-Janasker J. Clin Perio 2007
Submerged Surgical
Results
• PD change
• Defect fill (threads)
• Defect Fill (mm)
• Recession (mm)

4.2mm

Implant Configuration
and Decontamination
• Implant contours and surface are a limitation
to remove the biofilm

• Surface treatments including - mechanical,
Er:YAG, photodynamic, air-abrasion,
implantoplasty

• Romeo (2005, 2007) implantoplasty improved
regenerative capability - reducing probings
from 5.5 - 3.6mm and BOP.
Implantoplasty
Regenerative Treatment for PeriImplantitis affected implant:

Prosthetic and
functional failure
Prevention Is The First
Step:

• Avoid conditions that contribute to poor
results

• Choose cases where you have excellent chance
for implant and prosthetic success.

• Anticipate and Diligently observe for implant
and restorative problems.

• Once Perio-Implant Disease identified act

quickly and with purpose to effectuate the
situation
What I see
• Retained Cement
• Inadequate attached gingiva
• Position of implant - Too Buccal
• Position of implant - Too Close to others
• Occlusal Overload
• Loss of Attached Gingiva Anterior
• Poor Oral Hygiene - Inability to get access

Implant Maintenance
• Needs to be Individually Determined
• Needs to be Enforced by Doctor and
Hygienist

• Patient Needs to assume Responsibility
Low Risk Patient
• Highly motivated
• Excellent Oral Hygiene
• One or Two implants
• No associated Risk Factors
Moderate Risk Patient
• Loss of Motivation
• Fair Oral Hygiene
• 3-6 implants
• Moderate Smoker (half pack)
• Controlled Medical Issues
High Risk Patient
• Unmotivated
• Poor Oral Hygiene
• Previous Periodontitis
• >6 implants
• Smokes more than half Pack
• Poorly Controlled Systemic Disease(s)
Maintenance Recall
• Low Risk Patients - every 6 months
• Moderate Risk - every 3 months
• High Risk - every 2-3 months
• Note - Oral Hygiene signficantly influences
the category the patient is placed.
Peri implantitis
Mechanical
Debridement
Hand Scalers and Ultrasonics
Maintenance

• Plastic, titanium, graphite instruments for
visual debridement from prosthetics and
sulcus.

• Ultrasonics with plastic tips at low to
moderate settings are excellent

• Individual or multiple implants with fixed
crowns or bridges screw or cemented
assess and debride as you would teeth.
Maintenance
• For Fixed Hybrid cases Remove at least
Twice a year and assess and debride
Transmucosal and Prosthetic underside

• O rings Remove Denture and address
abutments directly
Maintenance
• Polish with soft rubber tip and non-abrasive
paste - aluminum oxide, tin oxide, fine
pumice

• Irrigate with CHX with endodontic syringe
or piezon on low setting.
Ancillary Homecare
• Periostat - Doxycycline 20mg b.i.d.
• Evorapro - Especially for Dry Mouths

  • 54. Diagnostic Criteria • Probe all implants - Plastic or Metal • Look for Bleeding and or Suppuration • X-rays should be taken yearly first two years and compared to base line placement • Evaluate Occlusion, Prosthetic Stability • Soft tissue evaluation - Attached Gingiva?
  • 57. Accessibility • Adjust Prosthesis • Plaque Control • Biofilm Removal
  • 58. How do you Probe this?
  • 62. Treatment Options • Early Detection is Key to Success and improved health! • Non-surgical Intervention • Surgical Intervention
  • 63. Non-Surgical - Studies • Mechanical Debridement with plastic instruments and Chlorhexidine irrigation showed reduction of pocket and bleeding at six months - Schwartz • Antiseptic irrigation of pockets <4mm not effective, but over 5mm it has added effect. Renvert • Adjunctive use of generalized antibiotics did not improve the treatment results
  • 68. Peri-implant Mucositis • Application of Minocycline spheres along with debridement provide some additional benefit to reducing bleeding and probing, but NEEDS TO BE REPEATED OFTEN. Renvert
  • 69. Clinical Treatment of PIM • Mechanical Scaling of Implants with plastic or titanium instruments or Ultrasonic Plastic Tips. I-Brush if exposed threads. • Apply exposed implant surface with 0.2% Chlorhexidine gauze for 2 mins • Subgingival irrigation with 0.2% Chlorhexidine 5ml per implant • Minocycline Spheres or Gel
  • 70. Peri-Implantitis Treatment Options Treatment Options • Visualization with open flap very effective with cementitits!
  • 71. Peri-Implantitis • Treatment to be determined by amount of bone loss and esthetic impact of the implant in question • If minimal bone loss (3 threads or less) Proceed with similar treatment as Peri-implant mucositis, but decontaminate prosthetic components as well. The use of various lasers has been suggested. • If bone loss is advanced or progressive than surgical access with resective or regenerative components will need to be employed.
  • 72. Peri-Implantitis Non Surgical - Studies Non Surgical - Studies • 31 Subjects mean age 62 • One qualifying implant per patient • PPD >4mm with bleeding or suppuration • < 2.5mm bone loss • J. Clin. Perio 2009 Renvert
  • 73. Non-Surgical • Titanium hand instrumentation • Or Ultrasonic Debridement with plastic tip • 6 month results - minimal change with PD for either treatment modality
  • 74. Laser Therapy Er:YAG • SRP with plastic instruments and 0.2% chlorhexidine followed by Er:YAG 20sec disinfection per implant • Control was only SRP and antiseptic rinse • Six months later Equal Reduction of Pocket and Clinical Attachment • Twelve months later both groups lost effect
  • 75. Peri-Implantitis with Er:YAG vs. Air-Abrasive device • 42 Patients mean age 69 • Laser 55 implants • Perio Flow 45 implants • PPD >5mm with bleeding or suppuration • > 3mm bone loss • J. Clin Perio 2011, Renvert
  • 76. Results • Remove Supra-Structure from Implants! • Significant difference in PD bleeding and Pus reduction for both groups at 6 months • Both seem to have limited benefit in advanced cases
  • 77. Open Flap - Resective • Surgical flap access and resection of 1 or 2 wall defects combined with decontamination and antibiotic treatment was effective in just over half the cases over 5 years. Leonhardt 2003 • 2008 Hitz-Mayfield with flap surgery and resection and antimicrobial treatment stopped the progression of the disease in 90% of cases up to one year - However, BOP continued in 50% of the lesions.
  • 78. Regenerative Surgery • Schwartz (2008) found combination bone grafting debridement and antibiotics had significant reduction of bone loss and BOP after 2 years. • Froum (2012) Significant reduction of BOP, Pocket reduction, bone loss over 3-7 years.
  • 79. Submerged Healing • 16 implants in 12 patients • Open Flap and 3% Hydrogen Peroxide • Bone Graft and Membrane • Submerged healing • Roos-Janasker J. Clin Perio 2007
  • 80. Submerged Surgical Results • PD change • Defect fill (threads) • Defect Fill (mm) • Recession (mm) 4.2mm 3.8 2.3 2.8
  • 81. Implant Configuration and Decontamination • Implant contours and surface are a limitation to remove the biofilm • Surface treatments including - mechanical, Er:YAG, photodynamic, air-abrasion, implantoplasty • Romeo (2005, 2007) implantoplasty improved regenerative capability - reducing probings from 5.5 - 3.6mm and BOP.
