Current Emerging Concepts on the Pathogenesis of Peri-implant Diseases: A Narrative Review.
The International journal of oral & maxillofacial implants(2024)
Abstract
OBJECTIVES:The aim of this narrative review is to describe the emerging evidence concerning etiological factors and pathophysiological mechanisms involved in peri-implant inflammatory diseases.
MATERIAL AND METHODS:An electronic search for articles published until November 2022 was conducted in MEDLINE by three independent reviewers to identify manuscripts reporting data on etiological factors and pathophysiological mechanisms associated with peri-implant diseases.
RESULTS:Current evidence suggests that peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis are inflammatory conditions linked to a microbial challenge. However, in recent years, there has been increasing evidence indicating that certain peri-implant inflammatory conditions may not be primarily related to biofilm-mediated infectious processes but rather to other biological mechanisms, such as a foreign body response.
CONCLUSION:The current evidence, not only in the dental literature, opens new avenues for a more complex interpretation of the etiopathogenetic factors involved in peri-implant diseases. A better understanding of various factors related to the host response, including dysbiosis mechanisms associated with changes in microbiota composition, is necessary for a more precise physiopathological characterization of these diseases.
