PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES
A patient with a history of successfully treated periodontitis presents for implant
maintenance. Which of the following combinations of clinical parameters most
accurately indicates the transition from peri-implant health to peri-implant
mucositis, according to the 2017 World Workshop classification?
A. Bleeding on probing (BOP) at 40% of sites, probing depths 4 mm, and no radiographic bone
loss beyond initial remodeling. CORRECT
B. BOP at 30% of sites, probing depths 4 mm, and no radiographic bone loss beyond initial
remodeling.
C. BOP at 10% of sites, probing depths 5 mm, and no radiographic bone loss beyond initial
remodeling.
D. BOP at 25% of sites, probing depths 5 mm, and evidence of progressive bone loss on
radiographs.
RATIONALE: Peri-implant mucositis is characterized by BOP at 40% of sites, probing depths 4
mm, and no bone loss beyond crestal bone remodeling. Option B uses a threshold of 30%, which
is not the accepted criterion. Option C has a 10% threshold, too low. Option D includes
progressive bone loss, indicating peri-implantitis, not mucositis.

PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES
Which of the following statements best reflects the current evidence regarding the
efficacy of systemic antibiotics as an adjunct to non-surgical debridement in the
treatment of peri-implantitis?
A. Systemic antibiotics significantly improve probing depth reduction and clinical attachment gain
compared to debridement alone, regardless of the antibiotic regimen.
B. Systemic antibiotics show no additional benefit over debridement alone and should be
avoided due to the risk of antimicrobial resistance.
C. Systemic antibiotics may offer short-term benefits in reducing BOP, but their long-term
efficacy is limited and routine use is not recommended. CORRECT
D. Systemic antibiotics are contraindicated in all cases of peri-implantitis due to the lack of
vascularity in the peri-implant tissues.
RATIONALE: Current evidence suggests that systemic antibiotics as an adjunct to non-surgical
debridement may reduce BOP in the short term, but these effects are not sustained long-term,
and the risk of resistance and adverse effects precludes routine use. Option A overstates the
evidence, B ignores potential short-term benefits, and D is incorrect because peri-implant tissues
are vascularized, albeit less than periodontal tissues.

PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES
A patient presents with a bleeding index of 45% and no suppuration. Probing
depths are 3-4 mm. Radiographs show no bone loss beyond 2 mm from the
implant abutment junction. Which of the following is the most appropriate initial
maintenance protocol?
A. Non-surgical debridement with titanium or plastic instruments, followed by a recall interval of 3
months. CORRECT
B. Surgical open flap debridement with implantoplasty, followed by a recall interval of 6 months.
C. Non-surgical debridement with ultrasonic scaler and metal curettes, followed by a recall
interval of 6 months.
D. No instrumentation; only oral hygiene instructions and a recall interval of 12 months.
RATIONALE: This patient has peri-implant mucositis, which is managed with non-surgical
debridement using instruments that do not damage the implant surface (titanium or plastic), and
a 3-month recall to reinforce plaque control. Surgical intervention is reserved for peri-implantitis.
Metal curettes can scratch the implant surface, and a 6-month interval is too long for a patient
with high bleeding.
