Gingival recession can also be caused by a bad practice at the time of surgery.
Peri-implantitis is an infection that causes bone loss around the dental implant. When this happens, the bone tends to resorb and, by this, you can see the screw of the dental implant.
Peri-implantitis can have different causes such as periodontal disease, regular consumption of tobacco, diseases such as diabetes care and insufficient during the process of osseointegration of the dental implant.
