Retrograde peri-implantitis describes a lesion that is periapical to an osseointegrated implant. The condition is identifiable by radiological examination and from clinical symptoms such as pain, tenderness, or the presence of a sinus tract. Retrograde peri-implantitis constitutes an important cause for implant failure. Retrograde peri-implantitis may sometimes prove difficult to identify and hence institution of early treatment may not be possible. This paper aims to briefly discuss etiology and treatment strategies of retrograde peri-implantitis available in the literature.
