Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Summary

Dental implants in patients with a history of periodontitis require careful management. Supportive periodontal therapy is crucial for maintaining dental implants in these susceptible individuals.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Periodontology
Implantology

Background:

Peri-implant tissues share susceptibility to plaque-induced factors with periodontal tissues.
Periodontitis history is a potential risk factor for dental implant outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To review evidence on periodontitis history as a risk factor for dental implant success.
To evaluate the role of supportive periodontal therapy in maintaining implants for patients with prior periodontitis.

Main Methods:

Literature review of studies on dental implants and periodontitis history.
Analysis of evidence concerning supportive periodontal therapy efficacy.

Main Results:

Evidence suggests peri-implant tissues are vulnerable to periodontitis-related factors.
