Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, the use of dental implants for oral rehabilitation has achieved predictable outcomes and high success rates. We now have both excellent materials and innovative surgical techniques at our disposal, enabling us to better deal with daily clinical practice; we can count, for example, on implant surfaces that accelerate the osseointegration process, with high-performance prosthetic implant connections capable of increasing the stability of our rehabilitations over time. Diseases affecting dental implants are also a topic of global interest. In recent years, the study of peri-implant diseases has significantly increased in the scientific literature.
The main long-term causes of dental implant failure include the onset of biological complications, such as mucositis and peri-implantitis, at the peri-implant soft tissue level. While mucositis is defined as the presence of a reversible inflammatory soft tissue infiltrate, peri-implantitis implicates bone loss beyond physiological crestal remodeling. Peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis represent an emerging global burden of disease.
In this Special Issue, we hope to present novel scientific results, clinical experiences, and future directions. You are cordially invited to submit scientific papers concerning dental implantology and peri-implant diseases, as well as their associated fields.
