Learning Content
Peri-implant and periodontal diseases are chronic inflammatory conditions linked to systemic health. This session explores links with cardiovascular disease and diabetes, highlights risk factors, and provides an evidence based approach to integrate oral systemic care into practice.
Aims
To review current evidence on periodontal and peri-implant inflammation and its systemic implications, focusing on inflammatory mechanisms, patient risk factors, and the role of risk assessment in routine dental and implant practice.
Learning Outcomes
- Understand inflammatory mechanisms in periodontal and peri-implant diseases and systemic effects - Recognise links between oral inflammation and systemic conditions - Identify risk factors and apply risk assessment in practice - Reflect on holistic approaches to periodontal and implant care.
