Introduction: their success is contingent upon meticulous clinical and biological considerations. Periodic and comprehensive evaluation of peri-implant tissues is essential, encompassing the assessment of peri-implantitis, mucosal erosion, mucosal discoloration, leukoplakia, pain, implant mobility, and peri-implant bone loss. The objective of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of various mucosal lesions following dental implant placement in patients residing in urban areas of Isfahan, Iran.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 52 patients aged between 45 and 65 years, with an equal distribution of both sexes, who underwent implant therapy in the Prosthodontics Department of Islamic Azad University, Isfahan. All participants received implants from the same system. Clinical evaluations were performed preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and three months after implant placement. A range of oral mucosal lesions—including white and red lesions, vesiculobullous disorders, pigmented and exophytic lesions, as well as malignant and premalignant conditions—were examined. When clinically indicated, biopsy and supplementary diagnostic procedures were carried out. Data analysis was conducted using Fisher’s exact test.
Results: A total of 12 mucosal lesions were identified: 8 traumatic lesions (66.7%), 2 cases of mucosal stomatitis (16.7%), 1 lichenoid lesion (8.3%), and 1 aphthous ulceration (8.3%). Among the 40 implants evaluated in the 45–55-year age group, no lesions were detected. However, 20% of the implants in the 55–65-year group presented with lesions, which was statistically significant). Additionally, no lesions were observed among the 50 implants placed in female patients, whereas 24% of the implants in male patients exhibited lesions
Conclusion: Given the potential inevitability of certain mucosal complications following implant placement, it is recommended that patients be adequately informed about these risks prior to treatment.
