The comparative evaluation of neutrophil activity Depending on time of peri-implantitis development

Abstract

Peri-implantitis belongs to the number of the most common complications of dental implant placement that can occur during the procedure as well as in the postoperative period. A key role in the immune defence of oral cavity belongs to nonspecific factors that act as a powerful barrier and are the first to respond to foreign agents entering the mouth The aim of this work was an exploring the neutrophil bactericidal activity depending on time of peri-implantitis development by using NBT tes. For success of this aim samples of capillary blood of 50 patients were checked up by NBT tes. Among the 100 cells we counted the share of active neutrophils. Period of peri-implantitis development after dental implant placement correlates with the changes of the share of active neutrophils in patients’ blood.
