Abstract: Peri-implantitis is an infectious disease which causes an inflammatory process in soft tissues followed by bone loss around an osseo integrated implant. Its etiology depends on the status of the tissue surrounding the implant, implant design, degree of roughness, external morphology, and excessive mechanical load in presence of the most important factor, bacteria such as spirochetes and mobile forms of Gram-negative anaerobes. Diagnosis is made by assessing the changes of color in the gingiva, bleeding and probing depth of peri-implant pockets, suppuration, X-ray, and gradual loss of bone height around the tooth. The management of implant infection should be focused on the control of infection, the detoxification of the implant surface, and regeneration of the alveolar bone. This review of literature gives an overview of aetiopathogenesis, clinical features, and diagnosis of periimplantitis along with various treatment options in its management. Key words : Peri-implant disease, Peri-implant infection. I. Introduction Dental implants have in the recent years revolutionized prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous and partially edentulous arches in patients all over the world primarily due to introduction of advanced imaging techniques and improvements in the designs which makes not only the diagnosis and treatment planning but also its execution easier than ever before. But despite high success rates , Implants are still subject to failures mainly due to biological complications which occur when bacterial plaque accumulates around an implant, causing inflammatory changes in the tissues surrounding it [1,2]. Peri-implantitis is hence an inflammatory process which results in loss of supporting bone around an Osseo integrated implant in function.
