Peri-implantitis Through the Looking Glass

Abstract

Introduction: The states of health and disease are inseparable, as the existence of one relies on the presence of the other. The definitions of health and disease in medicine and dentistry have evolved over the years from ones that are patient-centred to a complex set of terminology that has resulted in communication ambiguity. An example of such are “peri-implant diseases,” a lingering topic in the current literature.
