Reactions vary greatly amongst clinicians when one mentions peri-implantitis. Some believe this is a limited problem that has been overstated, while others see it as a growing concern. What are the reasons for this disparity? In one regard, it may be due to a difference in the parameters and extent of bone loss being used to establish the diagnosis. On the other hand, it may relate to under-diagnosis from a lack of clinical knowledge of how to best determine the existence and extent of peri-implantitis. This program will review the current state of the evidence/literature on peri-implantitis, what treatment algorithms have demonstrated efficacy and discuss experiences to date.
