An unusual bone loss around implants.

Abstract

Pre-implant disease is an inflammatory process that affects the surrounding tissues of a functional osseointegrated implant. It is usually the result of a disequilibrium between the micro-flora and the defense system. This case reports a 57-year-old man with unusual bone loss around dental implants. This was an unusual case of peri-implantitis that occurred only in the implants on one side of the mouth although they were all unloaded implants.
