                                HOW DO PERI-IMPLANT BIOLOGIC PARAMETERS CORRESPOND WITH IMPLANT SURVIVAL AND PERI-IMPLANTITIS? A CRITICAL REVIEW
eight of 41 selected papers gave information about suppuration separately. Sanchez‐ Siles, and colleagues reported only two suppurating implants of the 120 implants diagnosed with peri‐implantitis.104 On the other hand, in four other papers, the prevalence of suppurating implants strongly correlated with the reported prevalence. This latter finding is in accordance with the results of the study of French.67 They specified that suppuration was detected in implants with the highest bone loss and suggested it could be useful for clinical diagnosis. Confirmation in more studies seems essential to confirm this assumption.
■ CONCLUSIONS
There is a large variation in the peri‐implantitis case definitions, and reporting of biologic parameters is incomplete. Mean bone loss did not correlate with diagnostic parameters mean PD, mean BoP, and peri‐implantitis prevalence. Only mean BoP correlated strong, with reported prevalence of peri‐implantitis. Survival rate showed a substantial correlation with function time, with minor implant loss over time. Inconsistent reporting of peri‐implantitis prevalence needs to be addressed, and an unambiguous case definition for peri‐implantitis is of utmost importance for science as well as clinical practice.
