ABSTRACT

It is known that the bacterial infection from the periodontal pocket of the adjacent dentition to a periimplant sulcus occurs in a very short term after the implant treatment. There fore, doing the implant treatment to periodontal patients after periodontal treatment to make the risk of infection by periodontopathic bacteria from teeth a minimum becomes a condition. Moreover, bacterial flora improved by the periodontal treatment once also has the possibility to influence the implant surroundings organization according to the state of the plaque control afterwards. However, there is no scientific index that can judge the quality of the plaque control, and the bacillus in a peri-implant sulcus is encouraged to be inspected regularly. After implant treatment and periodontal treatment, maintenance is necessary for all patients, and to judge the interval of maintenance according to the situation in the mouth. In these days the implant treatment is widely common compared with other odontotherapies. However, a peri-implantitis has occurred in some the cases. The method of treatment to a new disease has not been established yet. A basic clinical consideration in addition will be a pressing need when the future to establish the method of prevention and the treatment method to the peri-implantitis, and it is thought that it is necessary to do the prevention of this disease and standardization of the treatment method. Keywords: peri-implantitis, periodontal patients risk factors, decontamination, periodontopathic bacteria.
