What is the primary factor for implant success?
The connection between bone and implant
What is peri-implantitis?
An infection that affects the tissues around an implant
What is the cause of implant failure?
Peri-implantitis
How does the mucosa surrounding implants compare to the gingival epithelium around natural teeth?
The mucosa surrounding implants forms a seal comparable to the gingival epithelium around natural teeth
What is the function of the mucosa surrounding implants?
To form a seal comparable to the gingival epithelium around natural teeth
What is the peri-implant junction composed of?
Peri-implant epithelium, peri-implant sulcular epithelium, and oral epithelium
What is the peri-implant junction composed of?
Peri-implant epithelium, peri-implant sulcular epithelium, and oral epithelium
How does the biologic width around implants compare to that around natural teeth?
The biologic width around implants is longer
How does the biologic width around implants compare to that around natural teeth?
It is slightly longer
What is the function of the peri-implant epithelium?
To form a seal around the implant
What is the function of the peri-implant epithelium?
To perform a similar attachment function to the junctional epithelium
What is the recommended probing force for implant sites?
No more than 0.25 mg
How does the functional sealing capacity of the peri-implant epithelium compare to that of the junctional epithelium?
It is lower
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.
