Peri-implantitis is a destructive inflammatory process affecting the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants. [1] The soft tissues become inflamed whereas the alveolar bone (hard tissue), which surrounds the implant for the purposes of retention, is lost over time. The bone loss involved in peri-implantitis differentiates this ...
Peri-implant mucositis is defined as an inflammatory lesion of the peri-implant mucosa in the absence of continuing marginal bone loss. [1]The American Academy of Periodontology defines peri‐implant mucositis as a disease in which inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding a dental implant is present without additional bone loss after the initial bone remodeling that may occur during ...
In developing countries, necrotizing gingivitis occurs mostly in malnourished children. Due to shared predisposing factors in a population (e.g. students during a period of examinations, armed forces recruits) necrotizing gingivitis is known to occur in epidemic-type patterns.
Periodontal abscesses are the 3rd most common dental emergency, [13] occurring either as acute exacerbation of untreated periodontitis, [13] or as a complication of supportive periodontal therapy. [ citation needed ] Periodontal abscesses may also arise in the absence of periodontitis, caused by impaction of foreign bodies or root abnormalities.
Peri-implantitis is a condition that may occur with implants due to bacteria, plaque, or design and it is on the rise. [65] [66] [67] This disease begins as a reversible condition called peri-implant mucositis but can progress to peri-implantitis if left untreated, which can lead to implant failure.
This snuggly piece will manage to keep you feeling warm and looking cool even on the briskest days while being thin enough to serve as a mid-layer with a parka or puffer in the dead of winter.
The Village People’s lyricist and lead singer has hit out at the “false assumption” that the band’s biggest hit, “YMCA,” is a “gay anthem.”
Gingivitis is a common condition that affects the gingiva or mucosal tissues that surround the teeth. The condition is a form of periodontal disease; however, it is the least devastating, in that it does not involve irreversible damage or changes to the periodontium (gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum or alveolar bone).
