The ADI Masterclass on peri-implantitis defects will present the latest scientific and clinical knowledge regarding treatment of peri-implantitis. Delivered by expert speakers, this is just one of many educational benefits available to ADI members.
Dr Pamela McClain will join us from the USA and here shares her thoughts on the event:
“Since dental implants are inert, when managing peri-implant diseases, they do not respond as teeth do when managing periodontitis. There are many potential challenges including determining aetiology, access to the affected site(s) both surgically and non-surgically, effectiveness in debridement, anatomy of the defect and more. All of these affect our ability to successfully restore diseased dental implants to health.
“Many clinicians experience similar concerns with managing peri-implantitis and though we are still trying to establish the best guidelines to prevent, diagnose, and treat peri-implant diseases, it still remains a challenge.
“The best way to manage peri-implant disease is to prevent it from happening. Ensuring proper placement and dental implant stability prior to restoring, obtaining baseline records at the time of the final restoration, close monitoring after placement and managing periodontal disease before pursuing replacement therapy are critical to managing and avoiding peri-implant diseases. Early diagnosis and treatment of peri-implant diseases can help prevent further loss of bone and soft tissue.”
