Therefore, the patient with these prostheses is prone to suffer from other oral diseases that can lead to lose the functionality and esthetics of the recovered smile.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Oralstudio smile clinic, we are experts in the placement of dental implants and also solving the problems of these treatments, so below we will provide information of interest in this regard.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of natural teeth we are talking about periodontal diseases. However, in the case of implants we will talk about peri-implant diseases, causes and treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Peri-implant pathologies<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dental implant diseases<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are inflammatory processes that occur in the tissues surrounding the osseointegrated implants, caused by the presence of bacteria in the gum and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are divided into two. One of them is the untreated and therefore advanced phase of the other.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both arise as a consequence of the proliferation of bacteria in the tissue that supports the implant.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Mucositis<\/b>: is a disease in which inflammation occurs in the oral mucosa (gums) around the implant. It is a reversible pathology when appropriate treatment is applied; it affects patients with prostheses between 30 and 70% and does not involve bone loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Peri-implantitis:<\/b> This is the advanced stage of mucositis, which causes inflammation of the tissue surrounding the implant, but also damage to the bone structure. In other words, bone loss in the jaw may occur.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, both peri-implant pathologies cause clinical symptoms that allow their correct diagnosis to be determined, such as: redness, pain, pus discharge, bleeding, and in more severe cases, bone and implant loss.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be interested in: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/oralstudio.com.co\/en\/por-que-sangran-las-encias\/\">5 reasons why gums bleed<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Causes of peri-implantitis and mucositis&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the etiopathogenic factors that cause mucositis and peri-implantitis, bacterial colonization plays a relevant role. Food remains are often deposited in the interdental spaces and, if not properly removed by brushing, this encourages the appearance of bacteria that damage the gums. For this reason, it is important to dedicate time to using a correct tooth brushing technique.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, it is essential to complement the brushing technique with the use of mouthwash, dental floss or interdental brushes. It is also advisable to visit your dentist at least twice a year for a general check-up and to properly monitor the status of each dental implant.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, the use of tobacco should be avoided or reduced, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been proven that it acts on the salivary glands and promotes the mineralization of bacterial plaque and therefore the formation of tartar on the teeth, which is why smoking patients have higher rates of plaque and tartar.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, smoking affects the correct osseointegration of implants and compromises the long-term survival of implants due to the inflammation it produces in the gums.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people have a genetic predisposition to developing periodontal disease, while others are more vulnerable due to particular medical conditions such as diabetes. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, sometimes the disease <\/span><b>peri-implantitis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It develops as a result of an inadequate procedure during dental implantation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recommended article: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/oralstudio.com.co\/en\/coronas-dentales-de-zirconio-en-medellin\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Zirconium Dental Crowns<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">either<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What is the treatment for peri-implant diseases?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, it is vital to educate the patient about a culture of prevention rather than cure. As stated throughout this article, bacterial plaque is the main cause of these pathologies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mucositis can be eliminated by controlling the cause that causes it, \u201ctartar\u201d, so proper hygiene and adequate brushing technique are essential, as are regular visits to the dentist.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, peri-implantitis requires a more in-depth intervention to restore the lost bone mass and ensure that the implant remains with healthy periodontal tissues.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In both cases, the dentist will review hygiene techniques with the patient for proper implant care, while the patient must strictly follow the specialist&#039;s instructions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral Studio, dental implant clinic in Medellin, we work to improve your oral health and make you smile again, providing you with the highest quality biocompatible prostheses and implants.
