become a major disease burden in dentistry. An understanding of the diagnosis, etiol-
ogy and pathogenesis, epidemiology, and treatment of peri-­implantitis must be a cen-
tral component in undergraduate and postgraduate training programs in dentistry. In
view of the strong role of European research in periodontology and implant dentistry,
the focus of this review was to address peri-­implantitis from a European perspective.
One component of the work was to summarize new and reliable data on patients
with dental implants to underpin the relevance of peri-­implantitis from a population
perspective. The nature of the peri-­implantitis lesion was evaluated through results
presented in preclinical models and evaluations of human biopsy material together
with an appraisal of the microbiological characteristics. An overview of strategies and
outcomes presented in clinical studies on nonsurgical and surgical treatment of peri-­
implantitis is discussed with a particular focus on end points of therapy and recom-
mendations presented in the S3 level Clinical Practice Guideline for the prevention
and treatment of peri-­implant diseases.

beyond the lateral borderline of the ICT adds to the overall pic-
ture of an extensive tissue reaction at sites with peri-­implantitis.
Since the dental implant is a metal device predominantly made of
titanium, it has been suggested that the presence of a foreign ma-
terial at peri-­implantitis sites may influence the local host response.
Although studies have reported on the presence of metal particles
in soft tissue samples from peri-­implantitis sites, 52–54 it remains un-
clear whether such findings are specific for diseased peri-­implant
tissues since relevant comparisons to matching specimens repre-
senting healthy peri-­implant tissues are lacking. In addition, assess-
ments of metal microparticles in peri-­implant soft tissues require
the use of appropriate techniques to verify the type of material
(e.g., titanium) and to detect small-­sized particles of 1–2 μm, for ex-
ample, μ-­PIXE (micro proton-­induced X-­r ay emission), synchrotron
radiation, or SEM-­EDX.
Data from studies evaluating human biopsy material obtained
from sites with peri-­implantitis may vary depending on the severity
of the condition and case definitions used when recruiting patients.
One of the upsides of the histological evaluation of tissue samples
is the preservation of anatomy and orientation of tissue structures.
The detection of target cells in well-­controlled locations is thereby
facilitated. Technical limitations of using cell markers of primarily
phenotypical characteristics with, for example, immunohistochem-
istry, however, must be considered. On the other hand, assessments
of mRNA expression of key elements in the lesion require the use of
homogenized tissue samples, in which the orientation of the tissue
structure is lost. Ideally, future analysis of human peri-­implantitis
specimens should apply novel “omics” techniques (e.g., proteomics,
transcriptomics) in combination with a spatial visualization approach.
Although such techniques are currently available, their use needs to
