Dear Editor:

Dental implants are widely used worldwide for tooth replacement and have become the gold standard in dentistry. However, with increased use as come more complications. Recent studies have reported that between 2.7 % and 47.1 % of all implants have peri-implantitis. Two types of inflammatory problems can occur around an implant due to infection: mucositis and periimplantitis. Mucositis is an inflammation of the mucosa surrounding the dental implant with no signs of bone loss after the initial process of bone remodeling. If mucositis is not well resolved, then it can progress to periimplantitis –an inflammatory process in both the mucosa and all the hard tissues surrounding an osseointegrated implant. This also results in a progressive loss of the bone tissue supporting the tooth.(6) Periimplantitis is diagnosed via bleeding on probing and radiographic evidence of loss of bone support beyond the bone tissue that is initially lost once the implant and prosthetic crown are installed. Other clinical signs of suppuration include probing depths greater than 5 mm and/or recession of the peri-implant mucosa.
