AB - Purpose of ReviewThe aim of this narrative review was to present relevant evidence regarding the onset and patterns of disease progression of peri-implantitis lesions based on current experimental and observational studies.Recent FindingsThe conversion from peri-implant mucositis to peri-implantitis continues to be not fully elucidated. In vivo studies revealed that peri-implantitis displays a progressive destructive nature dependent to the experimental model. Human peri-implantitis lesions follow a non-linear but accelerating pattern of disease progression occurring mostly within the first 3 years of function. Based on the available scientific evidence, histopathological differences between peri-implantitis and periodontitis lesions might be responsible for the dissimilarities in the onset and progression of these two conditions. Future research evaluating the pathogenesis and longitudinal disease attributes of peri-implant diseases is necessary to fill gaps in knowledge.SummaryScarce scientific evidence remains available in relation to the onset and progression of peri-implant diseases.
