STUDY OF THE LEVEL OF ORAL HYGIENE IN PATIENTS WITH PERI-IMPLANTITIS

The study was devoted to researching of the level of oral hygiene in patients with peri-implantitis. 67 patients with peri-implantitis aged between 25 and 55 years took part in the research. All patients underwent a comprehensive examination of the main disease and dental status according to a single scheme. The dental examination was carried out in a dental office. The study clearly indicates that patients with peri-implantitis exhibit significantly higher levels of plaque and tooth calculus, evidenced by a 29 % higher Silness-Loe index, a 32 % greater Stallard index score, compared to the general population and 15 % greater tooth calculus intensity. Further research is warranted to delve deeper into the underlying mechanisms of peri-implantitis, explore potential risk factors, and develop targeted interventions. By enhancing our understanding and management of peri-implantitis, we can significantly improve the dental health outcomes and overall quality of life of affected patients.
