Learning Content
Peri-implant diseases are increasingly encountered yet remain challenging to diagnose and manage. This lecture will review current guidelines alongside their limitations, exploring diagnostic challenges, interpretation of bone loss and multifactorial aetiology. Emphasis will be placed on practical decision-making, including prevention, maintenance, and when to monitor, treat, refer or explant.
Aims
To provide a practical, evidence-based approach to peri-implant disease, integrating current guidelines with real-world challenges, and to equip clinicians with the skills to diagnose, monitor and manage implants, including making informed decisions on prevention, referral and implant prognosis.
Learning Outcomes
- - Diagnose peri-implant diseases and recognise limitations of current criteria
- - Differentiate causes of peri-implant bone loss and identify key risk factors
- - Recognise clinical red flags and know when to monitor, treat or refer
- - Apply effective maintenance and prevention strategies in practice
