Description

Peri-implant diseases present a major challenge in dental practice. Treatment options for advanced diseases around dental implants are limited. While there are several similarities between periodontal and peri-implant diseases in their pathogenesis and microbial etiologies, periodontal treatment strategies are not readily applicable to the treatment of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. One of the key differences is the characteristics of the implant surfaces. In this presentation, emerging preventive and therapeutic approaches will be discussed with an emphasis on geriatric patient population.

Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) explain the similarities and differences between periodontal and peri-implant diseases; 2) discuss the emerging strategies in prevention and treatment of peri-implant diseases; and 3) describe the impact of aging on periodontal and peri-implant tissue.
