Dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry, offering individuals an opportunity to reclaim a confident smile and rejuvenate their oral well-being. Nevertheless, it is imperative to acknowledge that peri-implant diseases can give rise to complexities that demand specialized care. These inflammatory conditions stem from the accumulation of plaque and bacteria around the implant, mirroring the impact of gingivitis and periodontitis on natural teeth. The approach to treating peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis closely parallels that of addressing gingivitis and periodontitis. It involves removing plaque and bacteria from around the implant and restoring the health of the surrounding tissues.
Safeguarding the vitality and longevity of dental implants hinges upon comprehensive periodontal maintenance. Within the spectrum of potential concerns, peri-implant mucositis stands as a reversible condition demanding meticulous attention.
The pivotal role of professional dental cleanings in the crusade against peri-implant mucositis cannot be overstated. With adept precision, our dental practitioners diligently eliminate the presence of plaque and tartar from both the implant’s surface and the surrounding areas, using instruments that are tailored for this delicate task. Beyond the immediate benefits of inflammation reduction, this intervention expedites the rejuvenation of the delicate soft tissues surrounding the implant.
The patients play a crucial role in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis. Our esteemed dental specialists underscore the imperative of impeccable oral hygiene practices. These practices encompass a rigorous regimen of regular brushing, interdental cleaning, and a methodical, gentle approach to implant maintenance. It is these practices that stand as the firm barrier, staunchly halting the progression of peri-implant mucositis in its tracks.
Peri-implantitis is a severe gum infection that affects dental implants. ABeyond the erosion of the bone structure around the implant, this condition unfurls a panorama of symptoms—swelling, redness, bleeding, and an unwavering flame of inflammation. Left unchecked, its ramifications may culminate in the unsettling relinquishment of the implant itself. It has two primary forms of treatment: non-surgical and surgery.
Mechanical Debridement: A cornerstone of non-surgical intervention, mechanical debridement orchestrates the comprehensive removal of infectious tissue, calculus, and plaque from the implant site. Our proficient dental practitioners use specialized instruments, meticulously cleansing the implant’s surface and its adjacent terrain. This procedure promotes a healthier environment and aids in the healing procedure.
Local antibiotics: When treating peri-implantitis, local antibiotics have a strategic place. Targeting the underlying illness, these medicines are injected into the contaminated part around the implant. This focused strategy helps to lessen the bacterial burden and stop inflammation.
Bone grafting: This treatment involves grafting bone to the region surrounding the implant to help replace missing bone. This aids in stabilising the implant and halting future bone resorption.
Reconstructive surgery: Reconstructive surgery involves the removal of damaged bone and surrounding tissue. This can aid in eradicating the infection and improve the tissues’ general health.
Implantoplasty: During this surgery, the implant’s surface is smoothed to make it simpler to clean. This aids in preventing the buildup of plaque and germs surrounding the implant.
