Abstract
Many studies have investigated the relationship between periodontal disease and the onset of peri-implantitis. It is important to devise practical measures for preventing the development of peri-implantitis in patients with periodontal disease if the success of implant treatment is to be secured. Here, we report the role of the superstructure in two cases of implant treatment in patients with severe periodontal disease. Both patients had severe periodontitis and underwent implant treatment after improving the state of the disease, thereby ensuring that the implant superstructure could be maintained. Both cases remained stable after implant treatment. The results indicate that proper periodontal treatment prior to implant treatment leads to long-term success. In addition, it is necessary to use an implant superstructure that reduces plaque accumulation in preventing peri-implantitis.
