Peri-Implant Mucositis and Peri-Implantitis (Gum Disease around Dental Implants)

Peri-Implant Mucositis and Peri-Implantitis (Gum Disease around Dental Implants) - What it is

Peri-Implant Diseases

Peri-implant diseases are caused by bacteria build-up on the dental implant surface
This causes inflammation of the gums surrounding the implant. This is known as peri-implant mucositis

Plaque deposits around implants

If left untreated, mucositis can progress to a more severe condition called periimplantitis, where bone around the implant is lost. This condition is difficult to treat. Eventually, the implant becomes loose and has to be removed

An implant with extensive bone loss, which has to be removed

Who is at risk?

Patients with poor oral hygiene
Patients with gum disease (periodontitis)
Patients who do not attend regular dental check-ups
Patients who smoke
