Supportive therapy following peri-implantitis treatment: A retrospective study on compliance Monje, Alberto Galindo‐Fernandez, Pablo Nart, José Dental implants Peri-Implantitis Periodontal disease Background: The compliance rate with supportive therapy following peri-implantitis treatment (SPIT) remains unknown. The present retrospective study was carried out to assess the compliance rate and the factors influencing compliance in a private practice setting. Materials and Methods: Patients were divided into three groups according to compliance rate: regular compliance (RC ≥2 SPIT/year), erratic compliance (EC <2 SPIT/year), and non-compliance (NC <1 SPIT/year). Overall, 17 patient-( n = 8) and site-related variables (n = 9) were explored as potential confounders of compliance. The Chi2 test was applied to assess the association between categorical variables and determine the odds ratio (OR). Results: The study comprised 159 patients restored with 1075 implants, of which 469 were treated for peri-implantitis and met the inclusion criteria. A total of 57.2% were RC, 25.8% EC, and 17% NC. The multivariate analysis showed that smoking and grade C periodontitis reduced the likelihood of RC (OR = 0.28, p < .001) when compared to complete edentulism or non-smoking. Moreover, age demonstrated being associated with follow-up when SPIT was interrupted in EC and NC (OR = 0.94, p = .007). Conclusion: Comprehensive information, provided prior to peri-implantitis treatment, regarding the importance of adhering to SPIT after peri-implantitis treatment to achieve/maintain peri-implant health, resulted in ~60% regular compliance rate (NCT05772078). 2024-05-14T09:39:39Z 2024-05-14T09:39:39Z 2024-03-16 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Monje, A., Galindo-Fernández, P., & Nart, J.
