Objectives The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the relationship between
genetic polymorphisms and dental implant biological complications. Material and methods …

Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease that causes tooth loss. The complex pathogenesis of
periodontitis implies the involvement of a susceptible host and a bacterial challenge. Many …

Background Pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor α
(TNFα) play important roles in host immune response and bone metabolism during dental …

The success rates in implant dentistry vary significantly among patients presenting previous
history of periodontitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate if patients with history of chronic …

Purpose: To investigate the association between interleukin-6 (IL-6) G174C polymorphism
and susceptibility to peri-implant disease (PID) and/or chronic periodontitis (CP), in Brazilian …

Abstract Interleukin-1 (IL) plays a pivotal role in immune–inflammatory response that
maintains periodontal homeostasis. A number of epidemiological studies have been …

Implant loss is the most serious complication of dental implants. Although the problems and
causes behind the implant failure are clearly defined today, determination of the underlying …

Objective Dental implants consist in the treatment of choice to replace tooth loss. The
knowledge that implant loss tends to cluster in subsets of individuals may indicate that host …

Background Implants are becoming the first choice of rehabilitation for tooth loss. Even
though they have a high success rate, failures still occur for many reasons. The objective of …

Uncovering the genetic factors that correlate with a clinical deviation of previously unknown
etiology helps to diminish the unknown variation influencing the phenotype. Clinical studies …
