Study Notes
- Dental implants are structures implanted into oral tissues to support dental prostheses.
- Implant success relies on osseointegration, direct connection between bone and implant.
- Implant failure can be caused by peri-implantitis, similar to periodontal disease.
- The mucosa surrounding implants forms a seal comparable to the gingival epithelium around natural teeth.
- The peri-implant junction is composed of peri-implant epithelium, peri-implant sulcular epithelium, and oral epithelium.
- The biologic width around implants is slightly longer than that around natural teeth.
- The peri-implant epithelium performs a similar attachment function to the junctional epithelium.
- The peri-implant epithelium has a lower functional sealing capacity than the junctional epithelium.
- Care should be taken while probing implant sites with a periodontal probe.
- The probing force should be no more than 0.25 mg for implant sites.
