Peri-Implantitis Treatment

Detect and Treat Inflammation Around Implants Early

With dental implants, inflamm­a­tory changes can occur in the surroun­ding tissue—so-called peri-implan­titis. This form of peri-implant inflamm­a­tion is compa­rable to peri­odon­titis, which is also triggered by bacterial colo­niza­tion. If left untreated, peri-implan­titis can break down the bone around the dental implant and, over time, lead to loss of the implant.

Inflamm­a­tion around the implant (peri-implant disease) is often noticed at a late stage by the patient, as it frequently develops gradually and without pain. Risk factors such as smoking, systemic diseases, teeth grinding, or inade­quate oral hygiene can promote the deve­lo­p­ment of inflamm­a­tion. Regular check-ups, profes­sional teeth cleaning, and X‑rays are therefore crucial to safeguard the long-term health of the implant and the surroun­ding tissue.

Targeted Therapy for Long-Term Implant Preservation

At IMPLA·VIO in Berlin, we rely on struc­tured diagno­stics to detect peri-implan­titis early and treat it in a targeted manner. Depending on the severity, treatment is either conser­va­tive, for example, through cleaning, irri­ga­tion, and the use of local antiseptics—or surgical, with access to the implant surface. If necessary, bone rege­ne­ra­tion is performed to speci­fi­cally rebuild the weakened jawbone.

In our practice in Berlin-Friedenau, we use gentle proce­dures and modern tech­no­logy to effec­tively control the inflamm­a­tion and preserve the implant. The deve­lo­p­ment of stable, inflamm­a­tion-resistant tissue can be supported by accom­panying soft-tissue manage­ment.
