Implant therapy provides the most natural replacement for missing teeth. However, complications can arise from a variety of sources including inadequate bone or soft tissue, peri-implant disease, as well as other technical issues. Understanding the etiology is paramount to managing the problem. This course will address the underlying etiologies to a variety of complications and discuss management of peri-implantitis as well as hard and soft tissue deficiencies.
Educational Objectives:
- Identify the unique characteristics of the peri-implant microbiome.
- Describe the implications of mechanical/surface contamination in peri-implant disease.
- Review the steps involved in effective regenerative therapy around diseased implants.
- List the techniques and timing involved in managing hard and soft tissue around implants.
