Dental implants have become an indispensable established therapy in dentistry in order to replace missing teeth in different clinical situations. Under care and attention of indications, anatomical and intra-individual limiting factors, insertion of dental implants seems to represent a "safe" treatment option. Nevertheless, in the last decades increasing evidence raised on the presence of peri-implant inflammations representing one of the most frequent complications affecting both the surrounding soft and hard tissues which can lead to the loss of the implant. Peri-implant inflammations represent serious diseases after dental implant treatment, which affect both the surrounding hard and soft tissue.

The aim of this review is to provide an overview about current data and to give advices regarding diagnosis, prevention and treatment of peri-implant disease for practitioners.
