Peri-implantitis is a puzzling and frustrating complication. Sadly, it is becoming more and more frequent. Several senior dental professionals tell us that, for a long time (1985-2005), peri-implantitis was almost absent from their experience. They mention the shift from machined to modified implant surfaces as a possible explanation. In other terms, could moderately rough implant surfaces be a risk factor? The debate is very active and scientific studies do not lead to the same conclusions. We will explore this controversy both from a scientific and clinical perspective and evaluate the need for hybrid implants.
