Treatment of peri‐implant infections: a literature review

Abstract

Several uncertainties remain regarding the treatment of peri-implantitis. Properly conducted long-term follow-ups of consecutively treated cases would seem to be a realistic avenue for accumulation of more information. This may assist in establishing the predictability, magnitude and stability of improvements that can be achieved.

Surface Aspects of Titanium Dental Implants

“…tetracycline, amoxicillin, augmentin, metronidazol, penicillin, etc. (Roos-Jansaker et al, 2003;Zitzmann & Berglundh, 2008).…”

“…It is used in dentistry as a mouthwash and topical antimicrobial. In the treatment of peri-implantitis it can serve as a rinsing solution (Abu-Ta'a et al, 2008; RoosJansaker et al, 2006b) or more often as an implant irrigation solution, in combination with systemic antibiotics (Khoury & Buchmann, 2001;Roos-Jansaker et al, 2003). Renvert et al investigated the difference in effectiveness of minocycline microspheres and CHX gel, and concluded that the adjunctive use of these microspheres led to improved probing depths and bleeding scores, CHX alone resulting in only a limited reduction of the bleeding scores (Renvert et al, 2006;Renvert et al 2008a).…”

“…The implant surface can be cleaned by mechanical (an airpowder abrasive) or chemical (citric acid, H 2 O 2 , chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) or EDTA) procedures or with laser irradiation (CO 2 , diode, Er:YAG or Nd:YAG) (Roos-Jansaker et al, 2003;Schwarz et al, 2006). To support antimicrobial treatment, topical and/or systemic antibiotics may be administered (Roos-Jansaker et al, 2003).…”

“…To support antimicrobial treatment, topical and/or systemic antibiotics may be administered (Roos-Jansaker et al, 2003). After removal of damaged tissues from the peri-implant pocket, surgical treatment (guided tissue regeneration with or without the use of bone grafts and barrier membranes) promotes regeneration of any bone defect (Khoury & Buchmann, 2001;Roos-Jansaker et al, 2003).…”
