Clinical evaluation of peri-implantitis relation with implant material

Peri-implantitis, characterized by inflammation of peri-implant tissues and progressive bone loss, remains a major biological complication affecting long-term implant success. Material composition, surface characteristics and biocompatibility influence microbial colonization, host immune response and implant durability. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate the relationship between different dental implant materials and the incidence of peri-implantitis among patients treated at a tertiary dental center. Clinical parameters including probing depth, bleeding on probing, radiographic bone loss, plaque index and type of implant material were recorded and analyzed. Data shows that surface roughness and alloy composition influence peri-implant tissue response, with implants exhibiting rougher surfaces and greater plaque accumulation showing higher inflammation levels. Thus, we show that appropriate material selection, optimized surface engineering and meticulous maintenance are essential strategies to minimize peri-implantitis risk and ensure long-term implant stability.
