Join us for an afternoon/evening event with Professor Tord Berglundg presenting on Current Challenges in Implant Dentistry.  Peri-Implantitis – Diagnosis, Prevalence, Risk Factors and Treatment

Understanding outcomes in implant therapy

• Are we using the correct methods for evaluating dental implant therapy?
• What are the currently expected outcomes? Is implant loss a common outcome?
• Is marginal bone loss a normal event or a sign of pathology?

Prevalence and risk factors for peri-implantitis

• What is the current prevalence of peri-implantitis and has it increased over time?
• Which patients are at risk?
• How can modified implant surfaces be riskfactors for peri-implantitis?

Peri-implantitis and periodontitis – two different entities?

• Is peri-implant mucositis the obvious precursor ofperi-implantitis, as is gingivitis for periodontitis?
• Differences between peri-implantitis and Periodontitis lesions.
• Are there differences in disease progression betweenperi-implantitis and periodontitis?

Treatment of peri-implantitis

• How predictable are current treatment meth-ods?
• Infection control. Decontamination of implantsurfaces.
• Resective or reconstructive surgical proce-dures?
• Supportive therapy - how can we prevent peri-implantitis.
