Abstract:
Peri-implantitis is a growing concern in implant dentistry, characterized by inflammation and bone loss around dental implants. Often silent in its early stages, it can lead to implant failure if not detected and managed promptly. This presentation will uncover the causes, risk factors, and diagnostic challenges of peri-implantitis, while exploring current treatment strategies. By understanding its pathophysiology and preventive measures, clinicians can improve implant longevity and patient outcomes.
