Description

The focus of the course will be on practical steps for diagnosis and treatment, including both surgical and nonsurgical therapies. It will feature video presentations of treatment procedures.

What You Will Learn:

This course will cover the following:

  • Diagnosis & Classification: Identify the clinical parameters to accurately diagnose peri-implantitis
  • Prevention & Maintenance: Implement protocols to mitigate risk factors and maintain long-term implant health.
  • Non-Surgical Management: Evaluating the efficacy of mechanical debridement and adjunct therapies.
  • Surgical Techniques: Step-by-step guidance on surgical and regenerative procedures, including a critical look at the predictability of outcomes.
  • The Grafting Dilemma: When to graft - and when not to graft?
  • Post-Treatment Care: Long-term maintenance strategies for patients who have undergone peri-implantitis therapy.


    Hands-On Workshop:

    The course will feature a practical workshop using the GalvoSurge™ Dental Implant Cleaning System, a system for electrolytic cleaning of contaminated implant surfaces. Utilizing a pig jaw model, participants will gain practical experience in:
  • Effective decontamination of infected implant surfaces.
  • Understanding the electrolytic cleaning process to prepare the implant surface for potential re-osseointegration.
  • Managing peri-implant defect morphologies in a controlled, simulated environment.

Peri-Implanitis: Diagnosis and Management

Speakers: A/Prof. Stephen Chen

Venue location: Melbourne, Victoria null

As dental implants become a standard of care for tooth replacement, clinicians are increasingly encountering the challenge of peri-implantitis in their daily practice. This plaque-related inflammatory condition can lead to rapid, progressive bone loss and, ultimately, implant failure if not managed. This comprehensive course is designed to equip clinicians with a systematic approach to identifying, preventing, and treating peri-implantitis.
