IMPLANT HEALTH

Mucositis and Peri-implantitis. Not a normal condition anymore.

“Peri-implant diseases have been associated with Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria”.

“Peri-Implant Mucositis and Peri-Implantitis: A Current
Understanding of Their Diagnoses and Clinical Implications”

The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) Volume 84, April 2013 • Number 4 J Periodont
Peri-Implantitis

Peri-implantitis is caused by Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria, and is influenced by various other factors like:

Host factors as general health and genetics

Habits, such as Poor horal hygiene, drinking and/or smoking

Tissue conditions: quality and quantity

Quality of hardware: implant and prosthetics

MICRO-MECHANICS

What happens to dental implants
when loaded.

A variety of studies demonstrate that the implant-abutment connection of any two-piece dental implant depicts a complex micro-mechanical behavior:

a micro-gap is always present at the implant-abutment interface.

Its width varies when external mechanical load is applied.

When loaded, implants are subject to mechanical micro-movements.

They generate a pump-like suction effect, which draws saliva from the mouth into the implant tunnel.

Bacteria flow inside. Aerobic bacteria die, while anaerobic bacteria survive

MALPRACTICE

Uncertified fillers.

Implants are subject to strict technical and medical certification protocols.

On the other end, Dentists use any sort of materials to fill the screw tunnel of the abutment: provisional cement, cotton pellets, gutta percha, Teflon or wax.

 

NONE OF THEM IS CERTIFIED FOR THIS SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

SILVERPLUG, THE SILVER SEAL

Do you always use certified materials to seal the implant tunnel?

SilverPlug® aims at the prevention of one of the main problems related to dental implants: bacterial proliferation inside the implants, which is widely recognized as one of the most insidious causes of peri-implantitis...

BACTERIAL LOAD

Bacteria proliferation inside the implant.

Temperature, nutrition and anaerobic conditions inside the implant tunnel are ideal for harmful anaerobic bacteria proliferation.

These colonies of bacteria occupy a bigger volume than the deepest possible periodontal pocket.

INFLAMMATION

A constant condition, which cannot
be considered “normal”.

As a result, for EVERY placed implant, with different degrees of intensity, these phenomena tend to be observed:

  • Crestal bone loss
  • Inflamed and bleeding soft tissues
  • Bad smell

On more than 20% of
implants, this leads to the insurgence of Peri-implantitis, within the first 7 years of loading, eventually resulting in a total implant loss.
