Course Description

This session will address the rising prevalence of peri-implantitis, and the key factors required for its prevention from prosthetic, periodontal, and treatment planning perspectives. The importance of adequate bone and soft tissue as well as proper implant position will be illuminated through beautiful case presentations. Critical factors considered will be the timing of implant placement, emergence profile, biotype medication, and atraumatic surgical technique. Strategies for the treatment of peri-implantitis will also be discussed.
