Peri-implant diseases

Peri-implant diseases are dental conditions that can occur in people with a dental implant. They are caused by the accumulation of microbial plaque around the implant. The most common conditions include peri-implant mucositis (inflammation in the soft tissue surrounding the implant) and peri-implantitis (inflammation that affects both soft and hard tissue, potentially leading to bone loss). Signs and symptoms include gum swelling, redness, and bleeding on probing.

How It Works

Peri-implant diseases are conditions affecting the tissues around dental implants, similar to how gum disease affects natural teeth.

TYPES:

Peri-implant mucositis: Inflammation of soft tissue around implant (reversible)
Peri-implantitis: More severe; involves bone loss around implant (may lead to implant failure)

SYMPTOMS:

Red, swollen gums around implant
Bleeding when brushing or probing
Deepening pockets around implant
Pus or discharge
Loose implant (advanced disease)

RISK FACTORS:

Poor oral hygiene
History of periodontal disease
Smoking
Diabetes
Genetic factors

CRITICAL: Peri-implant diseases require professional dental management. This protocol is SUPPORTIVE ONLY.

DENTAL TREATMENTS:

Professional cleaning around implants
Antiseptic rinses
Antibiotics (if needed)
Surgical debridement for peri-implantitis
May require implant removal if severe

PREVENTION:

Excellent oral hygiene
Regular dental checkups
Professional cleanings
Don't smoke
Control diabetes

* Vitamin D and calcium support bone health.

* Omega-3s may help reduce inflammation.

* Oral hygiene is most important.

Expected timeline: Mucositis can resolve with improved hygiene. Peri-implantitis requires professional treatment.
