Abstract

Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the peri-implant tissues, characterized by progressive bone loss associated with inflammation of the mucosa around the implant. The aim of this study is to review the literature on the etiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of peri-implantitis, highlighting the main clinical approaches based on scientific evidence. This is a narrative review selecting articles published between 2015 and 2025 in the Scielo, PubMed, BVS, and Google Scholar databases. The results indicate that mechanical biofilm control, regular professional follow-up, and the appropriate choice between surgical and non-surgical therapies are crucial in managing the condition. It is concluded that prevention and early diagnosis are the main strategies for the long-term success of dental implants.
