Abstract

Peri-implant mucositis has been described as an inflammatory change of the peri-implant soft tissues with the absence of concurrent bone loss beyond physiologic remodeling. At this time point, it is assumed that peri-implant mucositis is a precursor of peri-implantitis; therefore the treatment of peri-implant mucositis is aimed at the elimination of inflammation and the prevention of a pathologic lesion extending into the bone. Treatment options include patient-based oral hygiene measures and professionally instituted decontamination treatment.
