Peri-implantitis appears in almost 20% of patients who received implant treatment, and increase in its number is inevitable as time goes by. Although it can be treated by both non-surgical and surgical procedures, in cases which include severe bone loss, explantation and rehabilitation may be necessary. Careful treatment planning and considerations to prevent recurrent peri-implantitis should be taken into account. In the following case presented, a patient with chronic periodontitis and peri-implantitis was successfully rehabilitated after removal of several implants. Extraction and explantation of multiple teeth and implants were followed by full mouth reconstruction with fixed implant prostheses on the mandible and implant retained overdenture on the maxilla. Surgical and prosthetic measures to prevent recurrent peri-implantitis were taken into consideration.

Purpose: The study analyzed the prevalence of peri-implantitis and factors which may have affected the disease. Materials and methods: This study based on medical records and radiographs of 422 patients (853 implant cases) who visited Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital Dental Center from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2016. Generalized estimation equations (GEE) was utilized to determine the statistical relationship between peri-implantitis and each element, and the cumulative prevalence of peri-implantitis during the observation period was obtained by using the Kaplan Meier Method. Results: The prevalence rate of peri-implantitis at the patient level resulted in 7.3% (31 patients out of a total of 422 patients), and at the implant level 5.5% (47 implants out of a total of 853 implants). Sex, GBR, guided bone regeneration (GBR) and functional loading periods had statistical significance with the occurrence of peri-implantitis. Upon analysis of the cumulative prevalence of peri-implantitis in terms of implant follow-up period, the first case of peri-implantitis occurred at 9 months after the placement of an implant, and the prevalence of peri-implantitis showed a non-linear rise over time without a hint of a critical point. Conclusion: The prevalence of peri-implantitis at the patient level and the implant were 7.3% and 5.5%, respectively. Male, implant installed with GBR and longer Functional Loading Periods were related with the risk of peri-implantitis.

Implant fracture is rare, but one of the most serious problem in implantation. Treatment of implant fracture can be different according to the extent of the fracture and on the state of the surrounding prosthetic restoration. Maintaining or submerging implant after treatment of peri-implantitis can be useful options for cases of tear-like fracture on the coronal area of an implant.

Retrograde peri-implantitis (RPI) is defined as a clinically symptomatic periapical lesion. RPI is generally accompanied by symptoms of pain, tenderness, swelling and fistula. Several etiologic factors of RPI were possible, residual bacteria would be the main cause of RPI. Various treatment modalities have been introduced: debridement only or a combination of debridement with the grafting material accompanied by a detoxification of the infected implant surfaces, apicoectomy and so on. Although the definitive management methods remain undefined, many favorable clinical results of a treatment of RPI have been published. This case report introduces the 7-year long-term clinical result of the application the principle: implant surface detoxification using saline and chlorhexidine and guided bone regeneration with bone graft material and barrier membrane. If the implant was not mobile, it would be possible to treat RPI according to surgical approach and good results will be maintained over long term.

본 논문은 시차를 두고 촬영된 두 장의 치과용 디지털 X-Ray 영상으로부터 임플란트 시술환자에서 자주 발생하는 임플란트 주위염을 검출하는 자동화된 시계열 분석 방안을 제안한다. 분석자에 따라서 결과의 차이를 보이는 수동적인 시계열분석방법의 문제점을 극복하고 보다 객관적이고 정략적인 결과를 얻는 방안을 제시한다. 보다 신속하고 정확한 검출을 위해서 본 연구에서는 치아의 구조 분석을 통해서 환부 탐색 영역을 줄이고 작은 변화도 민감하게 검출할 수 있는 환부영역을 분리할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. 또한 분리된 환부의 특성을 수치적으로 표현할 수 있는 방안도 함께 제시된다.

Purpose: We performed quantitative and qualitative analysis of typical periodontal bacteria using real time PCR method to investigate the microbiological difference according to the severity of peri-implant disease in Koreans. Materials and Methods: Total of 60 implants were divided into three groups (healthy group, peri-implant mucositis group, peri-implantitis group) through periapical radiographs and clinical indices. The evaluated clinical parameters were pocket depth, plaque index, suppuration and bleeding on probing. Using a sterilized curette instrument, microbial samples were collected from the subgingival plaque and real-time PCR was performed on five periodontal bacteria. The relative expression levels of microorganisms were compared by comparative delta-CT method. Results: The relative expression levels of E. corrodens and T. denticola were significantly higher in the peri-implantitis group (P < 0.017). On the other hand, the relative expression level of F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis was relatively high in the healthy implant group regardless of the severity of disease. P. intermedia was significantly lower in the healthy implant group (P < 0.017). Conclusion: Periodontal bacteria were detected in Koreans with peri-implant diseases, but there was no microbiological distribution similar to periodontitis.

Peri-implantitis, in which inflammation caused by plaque and biofilm on the implant surface spreads to the hard tissue, can be treated by decontamination of the implant surface and reconstruction of the lost hard tissue through surgical methods. We have described the management of 3 peri-implantitis cases by decontamination of the implant surface using a round titanium brush and regenerative therapy. All cases showed clinical improvements, and no further radiographic bone loss was observed during a 2-year follow-up. This treatment method can be effective for clinical improvement and bone regeneration. However, a longer follow-up period is necessary to support these outcomes.

From March 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016, 375 dental implant patients between the ages of 30 and 70 years to evaluate their subjective symptoms and satisfaction according to prosthesis methods. The collected data were analyzed using the chi-square distribution test, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple logistic regression. Of the patients with subjective symptoms of peri-implantitis, 40.5% reported food impaction, 49.1% reported bleeding, 61.1% reported pain, 61.9% reported halitosis, and the overall satisfaction level with the implants was 3.95 points. In the prosthesis methods, implant-teeth connective group showed the lowest level of the food impaction (21.3%), the pain (35.5%), and the halitosis (36.6%) (p<0.001), and the lowest bleeding was the implant single (33.8%) (p<0.05). Patient satisfaction was higher in the implant-teeth connective group (4.06 points) and the group without bone grafting (4.03 points) (p<0.01). Factor analysis showed that implant satisfaction was 0.43 times lower in the single implant group and 0.44 times lower in the implant-implant connective group than in the implant-teeth connective group. As a result of the study, it is expected that the method of extending the life of adjacent teeth and restoring the function of the tooth defect region is an implant-teeth connection method, so that it can be utilized positively through various clinical studies.

The purpose of this study was determine the effects of professional tooth cleaning and plaque control instruction(PT & PCI) on reduction of peri-implantitis. A total 80 implant patients were investigated using O'Leary plague index(PI), L${\ddot{o}}$e & Silness gingival index(GI), implant bone loss(BL). While the PT & PCI was conducted by using 'Watanabe method' after scaling for the experimental group, the engine polishing and a plaque control instruction was operated by rolling method after scaling for the control group. The collected data were analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, paired t-test and stepwise multiple regression. PI and GI of the experimental group significantly decreased than the control group(p<0.05). BL, also tended to decreased in the experimental group than the control group(p=0.155). Multiple regression analysis, the factors that was highly correlated with PT & PCI on the PI and GI. According to the implant characteristics, implant location and duration were closely related to PI(p<0.05). Therefore, the PT & PCI is one of the effective methods to reduce the failure caused by the peri-implantitis. Based on this conclusion, that it would be meaningful if the proposed PT & PCI is applied to the oral health management programs of the implant patients.
