Peri-Implantitis: Management of Peri-Implant Diseases

Register
Course Faculty: Homa H. Zadeh, DDS, PhD

Course Description

A variety of technical and biological complications can occur in implant dentistry, with functional and/or esthetic consequences. It is most important to understand the underlying reasons for each of these complications in order to avoid them. Some of complications associated with implant installation and restoration include: incorrect diagnosis and treatment plan, improper implant or abutment selection, incorrect implant position, inadequate available soft tissue or bone, excess retained cement. Some of the inflammatory complications that can occur subsequent to restoration can include: poor oral hygiene measures and/or inadequate implant maintenance, leading to peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis with associated soft tissue and bone loss. Of paramount importance is regular maintenance care to monitor implant health and intervene early. Some of the prosthetic complications include screw loosening, screw fracture or restoration failures.

With increasing popularity of implants, the prevalence of negative outcomes has been steadily increasing, requiring clinicians to be able to manage these complications

This course will provide basic understanding of the biologic complications of implant therapy with guidelines for treatment of peri-implant diseases.
