Abstract |
Introduction: Peri-implant diseases include Peri-Implant mucositis and Peri-implantitis. Peri-implant mucositis is described as a reversible inflammation of the peri-implant mucosa diagnosed by bleeding on probing and peri-implantitis is characterised by an irreversible peri-implant bone loss in addition to bleeding on probing. Materials and Method: This analytical cross-sectional study, conducted at Kantipur Dental College from August 2021 to November 2021 after ethical clearance, included 82 implants in 42 patients utilising census sampling technique. The implants exhibiting a mean loading time of two to eight years (4.40±1.91 years) were taken. The surgical and prosthetic procedures were standardised in all patients. Peri-implant health and disease were assessed based on the established case definitions. Data were analysed using SPSS v.20 software. Result: The prevalence of peri-implant health, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implantitis in the present study was 40.48% (17), 54.76% (23), and 4.76% (2) of the patients, respectively. Soft tissue recession of 1 mm was present at three (3.66%) implants. No suppuration, pain, or implant failures were reported in the study. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the prevalence of peri-implant mucositis was more compared to peri-implantitis; and immediate implant placement and loading were associated with high success rates at two to eight years. |
