BACKGROUND
Dental implantology occupies a leading place in the system of comprehensive rehabilitation for patients with dentition defects and has established itself as the safest and the most predictable method. Success of dental implants treatment largely depends on the timely identification and exclusion of risk factors related to development of complications such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis (peri-implant diseases). However, at the moment, there is no clear understanding about etiology and pathogenesis of peri-implant diseases, which casts doubt on the effectiveness of the applied treatment and prevention protocols.
OBJECTIVE
To summarize the available data on the causes and potential risk factors for the development of peri-implant diseases.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
A search was conducted for publications in three electronic databases PubMed, ScienceDirect, eLibrary, Google Search, Ebsco, Embase, Web of Science, SciELO from 2013 to 2024, including the results about studying the influence of various factors on the outcome of dental implants and the occurrence of peri-implant diseases, diagnosis, treatment and prevention measures for peri-implantitis. Based on the selection criteria, 69 publications were selected that were included in the systematic review. The methodology complies with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) requirements for systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
RESULTS
The main etiological factors in the development of peri-implant diseases, the influence of these factors on the outcome of dental implants along with the development of postoperative complications, and modern approaches of prevention of peri-implantitis are described.
CONCLUSION
The presented detailed systematic analysis showed that the treatment and prevention of peri-implant diseases is an urgent problem and requires a comprehensive understanding of the etiology and risk factors for their occurrence to provide highly functional, aesthetic and long-term treatment of patients with dental implants. The data obtained during the study will help practicing dentists in determining the prognosis of peri-implantitis and developing complex treatment and preventive measures.
