Introduction: Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease of dental implants that causes implant loss. For sustainable success, effective management strategies are essential. The purpose of the study was to review what present treatment options currently exist for peri-implantitis and which modality improves the peri-implant health in order to bring focus on the further need of investigating efficacy outcomes between them as well as their long-term implications.
Objective: The present work was performed to evaluate the clinical efficiency of non-surgical and surgical treatment approaches for treating peri-implantitis with respect to decreases in probing depth, bleeding on probing, microbial levels and changes into marginal bone destruction as well as demonstrated pain reduction by patients.
Method: Participants of the study (X peri-implantitis patients) were enrolled in two treatment groups, non-surgical (mechanical debridement, antimicrobial, and laser therapy) and surgical (implant surface decontamination, guided bone regeneration, bone grafting) a peri-implantitis groups. Baseline and X months of follow-up were defined as the parameters recorded clinically and statistical analysis performed to compare pre-operative/post-treatment differences.
Results: The study found significant improvements in clinical parameters post-treatment, including a decrease in mean PD, a reduction in BoP, stabilization of MBL, a decline in colony-forming units, and a significant improvement in patient-reported pain scores. These improvements were attributed to the use of radiographic analysis and microbial analysis.
Conclusion: The study found that both non-surgical and surgical treatments effectively reduced inflammation, improved peri-implant health, and improved patient comfort. However, surgical intervention was necessary for advanced cases for long-term stability. Future research should focus on antimicrobial strategies, biomaterials for bone regeneration, and long-term implant maintenance protocols.
