Monday Session

Program Track: Implants

Prevention and treatment of peri-implant diseases is based on the anti-infective therapy of periodontal infections. This protocol is known as cumulative interceptive supportive therapy, and includes four treatment modalities (mechanical debridement, antiseptic treatment, antibiotic treatment and regenerative or access/resective surgery) applied in sequence in a cumulative fashion depending on the diagnosis. Such options will be discussed. 

Educational Objectives:

• Understand how anti-infective therapy plays a role in prevention and treatment of peri-implant disease.
• Learn the four treatment modalities of cumulative interceptive supportive therapy.
