If you are experiencing pain in a dental implant, the cause could be peri-implantitis, a bacterial infection that affects the bone tissue into which the implant is placed and leads to the loss of the implant itself. Peri-implantitis is similar to periodontitis; both affect the supporting structures of the implant and tooth, respectively, and lead to the same result: the loss of both.<\/p>\n
Peri-implantitis manifests itself through an inflammatory process that at first affects the gum that adheres to the dental implant and then goes deeper causing the resorption of the bone that leads to the loss of the implant.<\/p>\n
Dental implant pain can occur post-intervention, in which case the peri-implantitis has developed before the completion of the osseointegration process, but it can also be felt late, after the osseointegration has already taken place.<\/p>\n
Peri-implantitis is related to the presence of bacteria, so it can be caused by the non-observance of sterility protocols. It is very important to carry out dental implantology procedures respecting a series of fundamental precautions to eliminate the presence of bacteria, such as operating in a dedicated room and using a sterile kit in accordance with international sterility protocols. The preparation and professionalism of the surgeon and the quality of the dental implants are also fundamental.<\/p>\n
By minimizing all these risks, the probability of success of the implant increases and consequently, the probability of being affected by peri-implantitis decreases. Before placing a dental implant, it is best to cleanse the mouth and natural teeth from the presence of bacteria. If we are treating a patient with periodontitis, it is easier for him to contract peri-implantitis, because the bacteria, being the same in both diseases, can easily migrate from one tooth to another.<\/p>\n
