Implant Roughness and Periimplantitis: A Systematic Review of Literature
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to systematically review the evidence to answer our research question: In subjects with dental implants, do the implant surface treatment or surface roughness characteristics lead to periimplantitis?”.
Methods: We identified applicable literature using 3 databases (MEDLINE, Web of Knowledge, and the Cochrane Library), applying the word combinations to the search: periimplant diseases, dental implant, and implant surface or surface treatment. With these word combinations, we identified 4690 articles. All abstracts to the articles identified in our search were reviewed and articles were either accepted or rejected for this systematic review based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistical analyses (Chi2) were carried out using XLStat (Addinsoft).
Results: When applying criteria to abstracts of articles, we identified 22 articles that satisfied this criteria set in the qualitative analysis and quantitative synthesis. Prospective studies were included if they met the following criteria: (1) give a clear definition of periimplantitis and (2) contain outcome data (clinical and radiological data) considering the periimplantitis rate. A systematic review was carried out to evaluate the impact of roughness on the periimplantitis rate. The full-articles of these remaining 22 identified articles were considered in this systematic review. There is a statistically significant difference in the frequency of periimplantitis between the different implant roughnesses (P = 10-6) or surface treatments (P = 10-6).
Conclusions: This systematic review of literature concluded that implant roughness and surface treatment are significant parameters associated with periimplantitis.
