RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFLAMMATORY PERI-IMPLANT DISEASE AND THE ACTIVITY OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE
Journal Title: Journal of IMAB - Annual Proceeding (Scientific Papers) - Year 2013, Vol 19, Issue 4
Abstract
Clinical application of knowledge about risk factors and indicators associated with the loss of implants or peri-implantitis requires additional studies to demonstrate the risk of peri-implant diseases. Identification of risk factors for peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis will provide the clinician tools for determining the prognosis of the individual and the implant and better selection of patients for placement of implants. Progress in understanding the risk of peri-implantitis at the individual level with a careful assessment of the risk level of an implant would be useful in the planning of implant treatment. The similarity in the etiology and pathogenesis of periodontal diseases and peri-implant infections requires an assessment of periodontal status and assessing the risk of progression of periodontitis in patients with a history of periodontal disease and implants. In the literature are few and conflicting data on the relationship of periodontal status of the patient and peri-implant diseases. It is likely that the presence of periodontal pockets, showing clinical signs of an infection and activity to be associated with inflammatory peri-implant diseases. The study is focused on the discovery of a relationship between peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis and activity (bleeding on probing - BoP) of patient’s periodontal disease. Statistically significant relationship was established between occurrence of active periodontal sites and inflammatory peri-implant diseases.

CHANGES IN THE IMMUNOLOGIC MARKERS OF COLLAGEN TYPE IV DEGRADATION IN SUBJECTS WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME
Background: Collagen is the major protein component of the vessels. Collagen type IV is found exclusively in the basal membrane and doesn’t form individual fibers, but instead is presented as a polygonal amorphous matrix...
RARE DISEASES AND GENETIC DISCRIMINATION
Rare diseases are characterised by their low prevalence (less than 1/2,000) and their heterogeneity. They affect both children and adults anywhere in the world. From the medical perspective, rare diseases are characteris...
