Abstract

Peri-implantitis is a common complication after dental implant restoration, and its occurrence is closely related to the dynamic evolution of plaque biofilm on the surface of implants. This article systematically reviews the formation mechanism and influencing factors of plaque biofilm and its pathological correlation with peri-implantitis. Studies have shown that implant surface roughness, material properties, and host immune status jointly regulate the composition and virulence of plaque biofilms. Excessive proliferation of Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria leads to inflammation and bone resorption by releasing virulence factors. Future research should focus on surface modification technology and the development of personalized maintenance strategies to reduce the risk of peri-implantitis.
