Dental-implant inflamed surface area: A quantification and simulation study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peri-implantitis is an oral inflammatory disease with increased incidence across the population as linked to the wide use of dental implants to replace missing teeth. While the recent World Workshop Classifications provided a framework for clinicians to diagnose and assess the severity of peri-implantitis, an objective assessment of the mucosal inflammatory burden around the dental implant is still lacking. Based on the periodontal epithelium surface area (PESA) and periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) scores previously reported, a study was conducted to explore a similar approach for peri-implant inflammatory surface quantification. The aim of this study was to develop two novel scores of peri-implant mucosal inflammation and their clinical application to help with
