Dental Implants Are Not Teeth! Proactive Measures to Diagnose, Prevent, and Manage Peri-Implant Diseases

About this Seminar

Biofilm induced and host mediated inflammation is the principal etiology of both periodontal and peri-implant diseases. This presentation will review both proactive and reactive non-surgical and surgical approaches, including the use of Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) and patient centered homecare customization as a systematic and evidenced based protocol to managing biofilm and achieving symbiosis for both periodontal and peri-implant diseases.
