Tratamentos das doenças peri-implantares: revisão literária

Abstract

Dental implants have become a great option for edentulous patients total or partial oral restoration, seeking to provide the patient both aesthetics and function. Despite its large success rate, the implants are not complication free, mucositis and peri-implantitis are elements that could lead to a flaw and a possible loss of the implant. Within this literature review, it will be addressed the matter of how can epidemiology, etiology, risk factors and different kinds of treatments be performed before infection that harms the dental implant support tissues, such as the gum and the boney tissue. These infections may be reversible, like the mucositis, or irreversible, like the peri-implantitis, which contains a number of kind of treatments to contain its spread so it does not result on the implant failure.
