ABSTRACT

Introduction: peri-implantitis is defined as a pathological condition affecting the tissues surrounding dental implants. It is characterized by inflammation of the peri-implant mucosa and the progressive loss of supporting bone. With the increasing popularity and demand for dental treatments involving the use of dental implants, the question arises as to whether peri-implant diseases, especially peri-implantitis, could represent a growing health problem for dentists and healthcare professionals. Material and methods: a literature search was conducted using Medline via PubMed for systematic reviews reporting the prevalence of peri-implantitis in patients. Articles reporting the number of implants placed or sold worldwide were also identified to estimate the approximate number of new cases of peri-implantitis that could be expected per year. Results: four reviews were found that met the inclusion criteria, reporting a prevalence of peri-implantitis between 9 and 20%. The studies also agreed that the estimated annual implant sales are approximately five million in the United States and between 12 and 13 million globally. Conclusion: given the continued increase in the sale and placement of dental implants worldwide, and considering the increased prevalence of peri-implantitis reported in various studies, this could become a significant oral health problem in the coming years.
