Guidelines for best practice

  Posted by: Dental Design      13th July 2024

As peri-implant diseases have become so widespread, it is absolutely vital that clinicians understand how to prevent, identify, and treat peri-implant issues should they arrive. This means that clinicians must offer patients appropriate advice prior to and following dental implant placement, stay vigilant when patients experience inflammation at the implant site, and decide on the best course of treatment to protect the longevity of the dental implant.

The Prevention and Treatment of Peri-implant Diseases Guideline[i] was created in collaboration with the Association of Dental Implantology (ADI), with ADI representatives including Amit Patel, Pynadath George, Paul Shenfine, Daniel Benson, Sunkanmi Oladeji Olaore, Jaimini Vadgama, Kasia Gurzwaska-Comis, Jiten Vaghela, Viraj Patel, Rajiv Sheth, and Nikos Donos. The ADI is passionate about educating both its members and their patients on how to maintain healthy dental implants, and Guidelines which reflect best practice for managing peri-implant diseases mirror this passion.
