Seminar content:
Implants are a successful treatment for replacing lost teeth. Reviews attest to the high success rates of implantology, even over a long period of time. However, complications around implants (peri-implantitis, mucositis), if they occur, are difficult to treat. For this reason, patients with pre-existing periodontitis in particular must meet certain requirements to guarantee successful implant treatment over a long period of time. However, it is not only the dentist who is required to ensure optimal compliance and hygiene at home. In this context, there are a number of special features relating to implants that play a role in communication and education with the patient. For example, implant-supported constructions are often significantly more massive, e.g. due to the prosthetic compensation of lost alveolar bone and surrounding soft tissue. The aim of this seminar is to highlight important aspects in the pre- and post-operative care of patients with implant-supported restorations.
