How this protocol works
In plain language
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.
