Periimplant pathology refers to a range of pathologies that can occur in the tissues surrounding dental implants, including inflammation, infection, and bone loss. There are several synonyms for periimplant pathology that may be used in dental literature and research, such as implant-associated diseases, periimplantitis, periimplant mucositis, and implant-related inflammation. Periimplantitis specifically refers to the inflammation and bone loss that can occur around dental implants, while periimplant mucositis refers to inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding an implant. Implant-related inflammation is a broader term that encompasses any type of inflammation associated with dental implants, including both periimplantitis and periimplant mucositis.
