Madhavi Singh , Manish Goutam
ABSTRACT
Peri-implantitis is a plaque-associated pathological condition occurring in tissues around dental implants, characterized by inflammation and progressive bone loss. With the increasing prevalence of implant therapy, peri-implantitis has emerged as a significant clinical concern that threatens long-term implant success. This review summarizes current knowledge regarding etiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of peri-implantitis. The role of microbial biofilm, host response, systemic and local risk factors, and surgical and non-surgical treatment modalities are discussed. Emphasis is placed on preventive strategies and emerging therapeutic approaches aimed at preserving peri-implant health and improving implant longevity.
