Peri-implant Disease and Prosthetic Cement: Cross-sectional Study

Prevalence of submucosal cement

The main objective of the present clinical study project, of a cross-sectional observational
 nature, is to evaluate the presence of submucosal cement residues through endoscopic
 visualization in clinical situations with peri-implant disease.
 
 The secondary objective is to investigate the potential correlation between the severity of
 the pathological condition and the spatial position of cement residues in relation to the
 implant-prosthetic unit.
 
 For each subject, the following data were collected: gender, age, periodontal history,
 smoking habits, reasons for implant rehabilitation (trauma, caries, periodontitis, agenesis,
 other), the position of the implant in the oral cavity, elapsed time between prosthetic
 rehabilitation and pathological condition. If the deposit was recognized as cement residue,
 its presence was recorded, and the anatomical position of the cement residue (mesial, distal,
 lingual/palatal, vestibular) and the spatial position of cement residues in relation to the
 implant-prosthetic unit were collected.
