PRE-implantation gingival histopathological changes: clinical case series
Abstract
An inflammatory process in the gingival and/or periodontal tissues prior to implantation seems to be a significant risk factor contributing to impaired osteointegration with implant rejection in the early or late stages due to the development of periimplantation mucositis followed by periimplantitis. In this regard, the task of searching for highly informative markers, both morphological and laboratory, as well as molecular genetic markers, remains extremely relevant, allowing predicting the risk of developing periimplantitis in various populations. An equally urgent task is the search for effective means of adjuvant therapy and prevention of inflammatory complications after dental implantation. The aim of this study was a comprehensive histopathological assessment of the state of the gingiva by biopsy at the stage before implantation in a clinical case series.
In a clinical case series (25 patients), using a descriptive histological method, a histopathological analysis of gingival biopsy samples obtained at the stage of implant placement was performed. The data of the descriptive histological analysis were supplemented by the results of an immunohistochemical study for the expression of vitamin D receptors (VDR) in the gingival tissues and inflammatory infiltration cells.
According to the results of a descriptive histopathological analysis, in 7 out of 25 cases (28%) in the gingival tissues of the edentulous area of the jaw in the area of the included defect of the…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health. Reported size: 25 participants or records.
