Occurrence of Peri-Implant Complications: A Multifactorial Cross-Sectional Study

Dental implants have become, over recent decades, one of the most effective and predictable therapeutic options for replacing missing teeth. Due to their high survival rates and their ability to restore both function and aesthetics, implants are now a fundamental component of modern restorative dentistry. However, despite their widely documented success, implant-supported rehabilitations are not exempt from complications, especially biological ones, which may compromise long-term prognosis. Understanding these events and the factors that influence them represents a significant clinical and scientific need. Among the most frequent biological complications are peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, inflammatory conditions that affect the soft and hard tissues surrounding the implant. Their onset is closely related to the formation and accumulation of bacterial biofilm on the prosthetic and implant surfaces, triggering an inflammatory response that, in advanced cases, can lead to progressive marginal bone loss. The literature suggests that the prevalence of these pathologies has increased as implant treatments have become more common, reinforcing the importance of evaluating the biological behavior of implants in various clinical contexts. In this regard, microbiological assessment is a cornerstone for understanding the etiology and progression of peri-implant complications. The structural characteristics of biofilm around implants differ partially from those observed ar…
