A better characterization of the peri-implant microbiome can improve the understanding of the etiology of peri-implant diseases. Ultimately, more detailed information about the peri-implantitis microbiome will lead to better strategies for prevention, supportive therapy, and risk assessment, as well as early diagnosis of peri-implantitis and timely intervention, all of which are critical for the long-term retention of implants.
