Implantoplasty releases metal particles that may induce pro-inflammatory response
Implantoplasty releases metal particles that seem to induce a pro-inflammatory response according to a recent study published in the Scientific Reports
Peri-implantitis is defined as a pathological condition caused by bacterial biofilms and characterized by inflammatory changes in the peri-implant mucosa, with progressive bone loss around an osseointegrated dental implant. This biological complication can jeopardize implant-prosthetic restoration if left untreated. The treatment of peri-implant diseases includes the decontamination of the implant surface by means of mechanical, chemical or electrolytic techniques. It must be pointed out that the literature does not clearly indicate the superiority of one specific decontamination protocol over the others. In fact, most of these decontamination techniques are not able to completely remove the biofilm from the dental implant surface, probably due to the macro and micro-design of the implant and the defect configuration. Clinical studies have suggested that the resolution of the peri-implant disease may be influenced by other factors than the method of surface decontamination
