Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Long‐term stability of conventional non‐regenerative periodontal treatment for furcation defects
Abstract Background Furcation involvement (FI) in multi‐rooted teeth poses significant challenges in periodontal therapy due to complex anatomy and difficulty in achieving effective maintenance. FI is associated with increased periodontal destruction, especially in sites with narrow furcation entrances and deep root concavities.

Marginal bone loss around implants – What does it mean?
Abstract Background Changes in peri‐implant marginal bone levels (MBL) constitute a central outcome in studies on implant therapy and reflect the integrity of the supporting tissues over time. Aim To summarize current evidence on MBL changes around dental implants, with emphasis on temporal patterns, methods of assessment and their clinical ...

Effectiveness of nonsurgical therapy of peri‐implant mucositis: A systematic review
Abstract Objectives This systematic review intends to respond to the question: “How do clinical parameters change in implants affected by peri‐implant mucositis following different non‐surgical treatment approaches or no treatment in patients monitored for a minimum of six months?” Materials and Methods A search for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) or

Peri‐implantitis—Is it mainly a clinician‐initiated complication of implant therapy?
Abstract Aim The high prevalence of peri‐implantitis is concerning, with a growing consensus that the majority of cases are complications initiated by clinician‐related errors rather than classic pathology. A primary predisposing factor for peri‐implantitis is exposure of the micro‐rough implant surfaces to the peri‐implant sulcus after treatment ...
