OBJECTIVES
This study is to investigate the referral pattern and treatment modality of dentists in the management of peri-implant diseases between periodontists and non-periodontist dentists (NPDs).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of 167 validated questionnaires were obtained from periodontists and NPDs, who had experience of placing implants for at least one year. Question I to IV asked how the dentist would respond if a patient came for treatment of their peri-implant diseases with four different scenarios according to resource of patient and disease severity. For each Scenario, dentists also replied which treatment procedures they would use if they decide to treat the patient.
RESULTS
Periodontal training, resource of patient, and disease severity were shown to significantly influence the referral pattern and treatment modality in the management of peri-implant disease (p < 0.05). Periodontists were more likely to use variable treatment procedures, including occlusal adjustment (OR = 2.283, p < 0.01), oral hygiene instruction (OR = 3.751, p < 0.001), topical antiseptic agent (OR = 2.491, p < 0.005), non-surgical mechanical therapy (OR = 2.689, p < 0.001), surgical therapy (OR = 2.009, p < 0.01), and remove implant (OR = 3.486, p < 0.001) to treat peri-implant diseases, compared to NPDs.
CONCLUSION
The periodontal specialty training, resource of patient, and disease severity significantly influenced the referral pattern and treatment modality of dentist treating an implant diagnosed with peri-implant disease. This study also highlighted the importance of educating basic periodontal and peri-implant disease-related knowledge to all dentists regularly performing dental implant treatments.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Peri-implant diseases are highly prevalent among patients with dental implants. Periodontal specialty training could enhance using variable treatment procedures to treat peri-implant diseases for dentists.

Review
has gone through 70 years of ups and downs, witnessing the development of periodontics in China from a faltering start to twists and turns, and finally innovative development. This article aims to review the periodontology-related papers published in the . Based on the characteristics of the times, they are summarized into five stages: staggering start, forced stagnation, vigorous development, standardized innovation, and disciplinary integration. Researches on periodontal diseases in China initially focused on learning and reference, gradually caught up with the international level, and finally created in-depth insights and innovations. Eventually, Chinese periodontology has formed a research system with Chinese characteristics and achieved substantial achievements in clinical diagnosis and treatment, basic research, periodontal medicine, and disciplinary integration. Although the current status of Chinese periodontology still lags behind that of developed countries, these representative studies demonstrate the unremitting efforts and hard work of periodontists for generations, laying a solid foundation for the innovation and development of periodontology in our country.
