Abstract

Rehabilitation of edentulous region in oral cavity through surgical procedure known as dental implant is an alternative novel technique in modern dentistry. Multiple advantages of their application include avoidance of vital anatomical structures (inferior alveolar nerve and maxillary sinus), increased patient comfort, shortened treatment time, and reduced cost. Extensive reviews have supported the current perspective of using short dental implants. Various enlisted factors affecting the future of implants such as smoking, genetic, diabetes mellitus, a history of periodontitis, and a combination of smoking and a history of periodontitis were described as risk factors for Peri-implantitis. For the development of future therapeutic strategies, it is essential to understand the molecular pathophysiology of human dental peri-implant infections. None of these therapeutic strategies has proven to be highly effective against peri-implantitis, and a gold standard for the treatment of peri-implantitis and peri-implant mucositis has yet to be defined. However, numerous biomarkers are studied in peri-implant sulcular fluid and gingival crevicular f luid and are then measured by numerous techniques.

Keywords: Gingival crevicular fluid, Peri-implant mucositis, Peri-implant sulcular fluid, Peri-implantitis.
