  2. Implant failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implant_failure

    Failure of a dental implant is often related to the failure of the implant to osseointegrate correctly with the bone, or vice versa. [4] A dental implant is considered to be a failure if it is lost, mobile or shows peri-implant (around the implant) bone loss of greater than 1.0 mm in the first year and greater than 0.2 mm a year after. [5]

  3. Peri-implantitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peri-implantitis

    If peri-implant mucositis is present, it must be treated to deter it from progressing to peri-implantitis, for which currently, there are no treatments to reverse its effects. Patients must carry out plaque removal regularly to prevent and treat peri-implant mucositis by the act of tooth-brushing.

  4. Peri-implant mucositis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peri-implant_mucositis

    Peri-implant mucositis is defined as an inflammatory lesion of the peri-implant mucosa in the absence of continuing marginal bone loss. [1]The American Academy of Periodontology defines periā€implant mucositis as a disease in which inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding a dental implant is present without additional bone loss after the initial bone remodeling that may occur during ...

  5. Dental implant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

    Long-term failures are due to either loss of bone around the tooth and/or gingiva due to peri-implantitis or a mechanical failure of the implant. Because there is no dental enamel on an implant, it does not fail due to cavities like natural teeth. While large-scale, long-term studies are scarce, several systematic reviews estimate the long-term ...

  6. Morsicatio buccarum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morsicatio_buccarum

    The most common and simple treatment is the construction of a specially made acrylic prosthesis that covers the biting surfaces of the teeth and protects the cheek, tongue, and labial mucosa (an occlusal splint). This is either employed in the short term as a habit-breaking intention or more permanently (e.g., wearing the prosthesis each night ...

  7. Crown (dental restoration) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_(dental_restoration)

    Crown used as part of implant restoration. Crowns are indicated to: [2] [3] [4] Replace existing crowns which have failed. Restore the form, function and appearance of badly broken down, worn or fractured teeth, where other simpler forms of restorations are unsuitable or have been found to fail clinically.

  8. Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papillon–Lefèvre_syndrome

    The maintenance of teeth is done by dental professionals with a procedure called scaling and root planing with the use of systemic antibiotics. The syndrome should be diagnosed as earlier as possible, so the teeth can be kept longer in the mouth, helping the development of the maxillary bones. [citation needed]

  9. Metallosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallosis

    Purported symptoms of metallosis generally include pain around the site of the implant, pseudotumors (a mass of inflamed cells that resembles a tumor but is actually collected fluids), and a noticeable rash that indicates necrosis. [1] The damaged and inflamed tissue can also contribute to loosening the implant or medical device.
