Vol. 13 – Number 52 – 2022 PITeam column Page 24-30 Practical guide to peri-implantitis definition and diagnosis – Part 1 Flavia Sukekava¹ Nathaly Oliveira¹ Lucinea Balles¹ Paula Porto Spada¹ Luiz Carlos Carmo Filho¹ ABSTRACT From the consensus of the American Academy of Periodontics in 2018, peri-implant disease was divided into mucositis, affecting only soft tissues, and peri-implantitis, when there is loss of osseointegration. This practical guide was built in two parts: the first one was intended to contribute to the clinical practice of the dental surgeon to identify the forms of disease that affect the peri-implant tissues, forms of diagnosis and identification of etiological factors/risk indicators; and the second part will deal with forms of treatment illustrated with clinical images to facilitate learning.
