Resumen
ECHEVERRIA GARCIA, J.J.. Periodontal and periimplantar diseases: Risk factors and diagnostic. Avances en Periodoncia [online]. 2003, vol.15, n.3, pp.149-156. ISSN 2340-3209.
Infectious diseases of the tissues surrounding teeth and osseointegrated implants are produced by different bacterial species which overcome tissue defense mechanisms. In this regard, different individual as well as environmental risk factors would determine a specific tissue response to plaque accumulation. Some of these periodontal risk factors have been identified so far, e.g. genetic predisposition, diabetes, smoking and oral hygiene. Due to a lack of pertinent scientific evidence, it is difficult to enumerate which risk factors are involved in peri-implantitis, although could be very much similar to those related to periodontitis.
