Changes in the microcirculation in periodontal tissue due to experimental peri-implantitis.
Journal of Oral Biosciences 2021 June
OBJECTIVES: Peri-implantitis causes dislodgement of dental implants due to inflammation in the peri-implant tissue. The microcirculation in the periodontal tissue undergoes morphological and physiological changes due to inflammation. The immune mechanism of peri-implantitis differs from that of periodontitis. In this study, we examined the changes in the microcirculation in the peri-implant tissue with experimentally induced inflammation, using morphological and physiological techniques.
METHODS: Six beagle dogs were used in the experiment. After extracting both mandibular premolars, three titanium screw implants were inserted on each side of the mandibular jaw. Dental floss was placed on the right side for 90 days in the study group but not in the control group. Microvascular resin cast models were created, and morphological changes were observed using scanning electron microscopy. Periodontal blood flow was measured using laser Doppler flowmetry.
RESULTS: Ninety days after induction of inflammation, bone resorption was observed around the implant body. Osseointegration was impaired, and a gap at the implant-bone interface was observed. The resin cast models showed that inflamed gingival blood vessels had invaded the bone marrow through the resorbed apical margin of the alveolar bone. Analysis of the physiological data obtained using laser Doppler flowmetry showed a significant increase in blood flow around the implants with experimentally induced inflammation.
CONCLUSIONS: Significant morphological and physiological changes occur in the gingival microcirculation of peri-implant tissue due to inflammation. Evaluating the vasculature and blood flow in the tissue surrounding the site of peri-implantitis may be helpful for pathologic analysis in clinical settings.
