Abstract:

BACKGROUND: At present, the understanding of periapical lesions of implants is not sufficient.

OBJECTIVE: Based on the latest research trends related to the clinical symptoms, pathogenic factors and treatment methods of implant periapical lesions, this paper reviews the research progress of the etiology and treatment methods of implant periapical lesions.

METHODS: The first author searched PubMed, VIP, Wanfang and CNKI databases using computer for relevant articles published from January 1985 to November 2019. The search terms were “apical peri-implantitis, retrograde peri-implantitis, dental implant, implants periapical lesion” in English and Chinese, respectively. The etiology, clinical manifestation, and treatment plan of implant periapical lesions were summarized.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The implant periapical lesions may be caused by infection, bone burning, poor bone quality, systemic and local factors. The clinical manifestations were redness and swelling of the mucosa in the periapical area of the implant, tenderness, or fistula formation. Imaging results showed a low-density radiation shadow in the periapical area of the implant. The treatment methods include root canal therapy of adjacent teeth, surgical debridement, implant root tip resection, guided bone regeneration, and systemic application of antibiotics. Therefore, to be familiar with the etiology and treatment methods of implant periapical lesions can provide positive guidance for the prevention and treatment of implant periapical lesions in clinical practice.
