A Team Approach to the Prevention, Diagnosis, & Treatment of Peri-implant Diseases
Yorba Linda, CA •Friday, May 8, 2015 • 8 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Since implants were introduced to dentistry nearly 30 years ago, we have at times been under the impression that they are somehow “resistant” to inflammatory disease. We now know this is not the case – implants require careful monitoring and maintenance and that soft-tissue as well as bone changes can occur in response to inflammation. This presentation will explore the prevalence of peri-implant diseases, their diagnosis, and prevention.
What does the dentist and hygienist need to know regarding the management of implants, and how do we incorporate clinical and radiographic findings into our maintenance protocols? In addition to answering these questions, we will explore risk factors, treatment options, and how regeneration can help minimize the consequences of bone loss. We will explore the failed implant and how the dental team can come together to resolve the most devastating of consequences for the patient and staff.
