    Author: Armas J, Culshaw S, Savarrio L.
    Journal: Dent Update; 2013; 40(6):472-4, 476-8, 480. PubMed ID: 23971346.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Over 100,000 implants were placed in the UK in 2010. As the numbers of patients with implant-retained prostheses increases, operators are encountering an increasing number of biological implant complications, most commonly peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. The effective management of these complications is crucial to maintain patients' oral health. In particular, in contrast to common periodontal infections, some peri-implant infections may benefit from surgical intervention as a first line approach. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This article reviews the literature on the treatment options for peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis and proposes a protocol for their treatment.
