The course will include new information regarding the definition of and the aetiology of peri-implantitis as presented by the American Academy of periodontology's 2018 conference. The instructor will share research findings regarding the risk factors that contribute to peri-implant diseases and preventive strategies to incorporate into the treatment plan for the implant before implant placement. These include planning the treatment of implants and selecting cementation materials restoration, design for therapeutic purposes, and ongoing maintenance. The Program will examine the latest evidence-based disease treatment and prevention treatments and advances in implant cleaning instruments and Chemotherapeutics.
