About

The main objective of the present clinical study project, of a cross-sectional observational nature, is to evaluate the presence of submucosal cement residues through endoscopic visualization in clinical situations with peri-implant disease.

The secondary objective is to investigate the potential correlation between the severity of the pathological condition and the spatial position of cement residues in relation to the implant-prosthetic unit.

For each subject, the following data were collected: gender, age, periodontal history, smoking habits, reasons for implant rehabilitation (trauma, caries, periodontitis, agenesis, other), the position of the implant in the oral cavity, elapsed time between prosthetic rehabilitation and pathological condition. If the deposit was recognized as cement residue, its presence was recorded, and the anatomical position of the cement residue (mesial, distal, lingual/palatal, vestibular) and the spatial position of cement residues in relation to the implant-prosthetic unit were collected.
