Peri-implantitis in my clinic?… Ann-Marie Roos-Jansaker

Description

Infections around dental implants are common. Peri-implantitis is difficult to treat and it is important to detect early signs of inflammation before progressive bone loss occur. Evaluation of risk factors associated with peri-implant infections is important, to be able to give each implant patient a proper maintenance program. If not diagnosed and treated, peri-implantitis may lead to implant loss.

Learning Outcomes
• Describe how to diagnose mucositis and peri-implantitis
• Analyze risk factors associated with peri-implant disease
• Discuss treatment of peri-implant infections
• Underline the importance of maintenance of implant patients
