The former concept of osteointegration of dental implants can now be conceptualized as a foreign body response histologically characterized by a bony demarcation in combination with chronic inflammation. Different risk factors can provoke additional inflammation and, therefore, pro-inflammatory cytokine release in soft tissues and bone, leading to an overpass of the threshold of peri-implant bone defensive and regenerative capacity. Progressive bone loss observed in MBL and PI is ultimately due to a localized imbalance in the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL)\/Receptor activator of nuclear factor \u03ba B (RANK)\/osteoprotegerin (OPG) pathway in favor of increased catabolic activity. The genetic background and the severity and duration of the risk factors could explain differences between individuals in the threshold needed to reach an imbalanced scenario. MBL and PI pathogenesis could be better explained by the &#8220;inflammation-immunological balance&#8221; theory rather than a solely &#8220;infectious disease&#8221; conception. The link between the effect of biofilm and other risk factors leading to an imbalanced foreign body response lies in osteoclast differentiation and activation pathways (over)stimulation.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Keywords:\u00a0<\/strong>dental implants; foreign body; marginal bone loss; peri-implant diseases; peri-implantitis.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Figures<\/h3>\n<div id=\"eng-abstract\" class=\"abstract-content selected\">\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; content_text_aligment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"qodef-image-gallery qodef-grid-list qodef-disable-bottom-space  qodef-ig-grid-type qodef-four-columns qodef-tiny-space  qodef-image-behavior-lightbox\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-inner qodef-outer-space\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image qodef-item-space\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a itemprop=\"image\" class=\"qodef-ig-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cureus-0015-00000033237-i01.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image_gallery_pretty_photo-992]\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Figure 1.&lt;\/strong&gt; Factors that may influence osteoblast activation Different risk factors for PI and MBL may lead to the overexpression of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), Receptor activator of nuclear factor \u03ba\u03b2 ligand (RANKL), tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF- \u03b1), and Interleukine-1 (IL-1).
