Systemic antibiotics and the risk of superinfection in peri-implantitis

Bone Remodeling around Implants Placed in Augmented Sinuses in Patients with and without History of Periodontitis

“…In the long‐term, the increased proliferation of antibiotic resistance, modified implant surface topography and empiric antibiotic regimens may promote the escalation of MBL and peri‐implantitis . A personalized 3‐month supportive therapy may help prevent risks by sustaining a healthy ecological balance, decreasing specific pathogen proportions and maintaining ideal plaque control …”

Long‐term stable vertical bone regeneration after sinus floor elevation and simultaneous implant placement with and without grafting

“…Patients with history of periodontitis are 8.4 times more likely to present >2 mm of MBL . Therefore, regular periodontal maintenance is key to sustain a healthy ecological balance and detect early signs of inflammation . A personalized 3‐month supportive therapy may help prevent risks by sustaining ecological symbiosis, decreasing specific pathogen proportions and maintaining ideal plaque control …”

Peri-implantitis Microbiota

“…Moreover, strict supportive maintenance therapy should be considered to prevent disease recurrence and to keep ecological balance in the oral microbiota [94]. Therefore, the presence of antimicrobial agents that do not alter colonization resistance will lead to a decrease in the risk of development, spread and dissemination of resistant strains among patients [91].…”
