    Peri-implantitis is a biofilm-mediated inflammatory condition with a prevalence of approximately 22%, leading to bone and soft tissue loss around dental implants.

  • 2

    The pathogenesis of peri-implantitis involves dysregulated immune responses, altered tissue biology, and persistent microbial biofilm, complicating treatment predictability.

  • 3

    Current treatment modalities include chemical and mechanical detoxification strategies, but no single method has shown consistent superiority in clinical outcomes.

  • 4

    True re-osseointegration of dental implants remains difficult to achieve, often resulting in newly formed bone being separated from the implant surface.

  • 5

    Future research should focus on long-term human outcomes and optimizing combined therapeutic protocols to enhance predictability and implant survival.
