Background: Peri-implantitis is a reversible inflammation that can lead to crestal bone loss around the implant. Symptoms include radiographic bone loss, increased probing depth, bleeding on probing, and pus discharge. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between clinical factors and radiographic bone analysis in patients diagnosed with peri-implantitis.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational clinical study enrolled 38 patients with symptoms of peri-implantitis, referred to the private department and dental clinic of Isfahan Azad University. After obtaining informed consent, a periapical digital image was taken using a parallel technique to measure the amount of vertical bone resorption in millimetres around the implant. The amount of vertical bone resorption was divided into three categories: less than 1.5 mm, between 1.5 and 3 mm, and more than 3 mm. Then, the amount of bleeding, depth of probing, and presence of pus were assessed for each participant. Data were analysed using a t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient with a significance level of 0.05.
Results: There was a significant and direct difference between bleeding on probing and vertical bone re- sorption (P<0.001, r=0.466). There was also a significant and direct difference between probing depth and vertical bone analysis (P=0.018, r=0.278). The pus variable was negative for all participants. Conclusion: This study found that bleeding on probing and depth of probing have a direct relationship with vertical bone resorption in patients with peri implantitis and with the increase of radiographic bone resorption, depth of probing and bleeding on probing increases in patients. |
