PERI-IMPLANT BIOLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS
Definition, prevalence, risk factors and treatment strategies PART 1 THEORETICAL PART • Peri-implant tissues: examination procedures • Peri-implant biological complications: definitions and prevalence • Peri-implantitis vs periodontitis • Risk factors • Non-surgical treatment • Surgical treatment • Use of systemic antibiotics and antiseptics in the treatment of peri-implantitis • Reconstructive surgical procedures PART 2 HANDS-ON Students will practice on typodont jaw models, with microsurgical instruments, implants and different oral hygiene products. • Peri-implant tissue examination • Plaque control procedures around implant • Manipulation of hand instruments around implants • Debridement of the lesion and implant surface decontamination • Resective and reconstructive surgical procedures • Suturing techniques
LEARNING OUTCOMES
During this course, the students will be able to perform a comprehensive examination of the peri-implant tissues, and to diagnose biological complications. The students will understand important differences between periodontitis and peri-implantitis. They will also analyze the available literature on the prevalence of peri- implantitis and discuss risk factors. The available literature on the treatment of peri-implantitis will be analyzed and potential benefits of different procedures proposed will be discussed. • At the end of the course, the students will be able to answer the following questions: • Can peri-implantitis be treated nonsurgically? • What should we use for implant surface decontamination? • Should we use systemic antibiotics? • Should we use bone substitute materials? • What is the risk for recurrence of the disease?
