Abstract

Implant biological complications like peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis are still common in clinical practice. Peri-implantitis is a disease characterized by bleeding during the probe procedure, swelling, redness, or exudate of the gingiva around the implant, and bone loss. It is an irreversible disease, and while various treatments have been tried, the results have not always been positive. The implant can be placed in the alveolar bone on the buccolingual, vertical, or horizontal sides. Several studies have found a link between the position of the implant and peri-implantitis. Although the findings of the preceding studies are convincing in theory, the placement of implants in clinical practice is influenced by various circumstances. To overcome the difficulties that may arise during implant placement, dentists must make various efforts, from diagnosis to surgical procedures.
