CONDITION OF PERI-IMPLANT TISSUES IN PATIENTS WITH OCCLUSAL INTERFERENCES AND DENTAL IMPLANTS

Abstract

Abstract. An important stage that ensures the further success of dental implantation is a thorough examination, diagnosis, determination and compliance with indications and contraindications to dental implantation, including temporomandibular joint disorders. The aim of the study was to describe the state of peri-implant health in patients with temporomandibular disorders and occlusal interferences and existing dental implants with ready-made prostheses. Materials and Methods. To achieve the set goal, 76 people with temporomandibular disorders and occlusal interferences and existing dental implants with ready-made prostheses were included. Results and discussion. The study revealed a high prevalence of peri-implant diseases (64,47 ± 5,49%, p < 0,001) in patients with temporomandibu- lar disorders and occlusal interferences. When analyzing the structure of peri-implant diseases, peri-implant soft and hard tissue deficiencies were most often detected – in 48,98 ± 7,14% of patients, which signifi- cantly exceeded the percentage of patients diagnosed with peri-implant mucositis (22,45 ± 5,96%, p < 0,01) and peri-implantitis (28,57 ± 6,45%, p < 0,05). The highest percentage of patients with peri-implant diseases was noted with tooth abrasion – 44,90 ± 7,11%. While patients with ortho- dontic pathology accounted for 26.53 ± 6.31%, and patients with denti- tion defects accounted for 28,57 ± 6,45% of those examined with peri-im- plant diseases. Conclusions. Thus, the study data confirm the relationship between occlusal interferences and an increased risk of dental implantation com- plications.
