Abstract:
Peri-implant disease is an inflammatory status which leads to the destruction of the soft and hard tissues around osseointegrated implants, including peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. It is generally accepted that bacterial infection appears to be responsible for peri-implant lesions. This review aims to summarize the characteristics of the subgingival microbiota in healthy and diseased implants and compare the microbial composition of subgingival biofilm in teeth with periodontal disease and in diseased implant, so as to provide biological basis on the diagnosis, therapy and prevention of peri-implant disease in clinical practice.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
