Implants and Periodontal Disease (BE130315)

AvailabilityCourse has taken place
SubjectPreventative Dentistry
DescriptionOngoing research indicates that the prevalence of gum inflammation around implant restorations is a common feature and comparable to the incidence of gum inflammation around natural teeth.
Additional informationThe establishment of ‘Peri-Implantitis’ has clinical findings similar to periodontitis and can lead to progressive bone destruction and potentially loss of the implant.


As many patients who undergo implant therapy are referred back to their general practitioners for regular dental care and maintenance, it is very important that all dentists and hygienists are knowledgeable with regards to implant care and are able to identify, diagnose and treat soft tissue problems around implants.
