Periimplantitis is an inflammatory process that affects both the hard and soft tissues around a functional implant and results in marginal bone loss, which may eventually lead to loss of osseointegration. Bacterial infection is known to play a major role in the etiology of this disease although there remains some debate as to whether this is a host susceptibility related or implant surface phenomenon or both. Prevention of these infections is a major factor when treating patients with implants, particularly, if they present with a periodontal disease. This article presents the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of periimplantitis that has been seen to yield favorable results.
