Background and details
Periimplantitis is the loss of infectious bone around implants. It's a relatively common disease..
His cause is his Amululation of bacterial plate in the gum surrounding the implant. Moreover, there are risk factors that clearly predispose to the emergence of the disease: bad hygiene, tobacco and a previous history of periodontitis. Usually at its initial stages, the periimplantitis cures without pain and passes unnoticed but as it gets worse, the patient can notice bleeding to the brush, discomfort to the implant's gum, bad mouth taste, supuration and sometimes even pain.
His diagnosis should be clinical and radiological. Your treatment has the following aims: Control of infection and inflammation. To stop bone loss. Regeneration of peri-implantary tissues. To achieve these objectives, as with every periodontal treatment, the mechanical disposal of the bacterial plate is necessary.
The cleaning of the metal and rugged surface of an implant is far more difficult than the cleaning of affected teeth from periodontitis. The use of the microscope greatly helps to improve the cleanliness of the implant's surface.
In some select cases after elimination of infection and inflammation it's possible to regenerate the lost bone around the implant. Bone regeneration is very difficult and can only succeed with expert hands and using a microscope-assisted surgical approach. The Dr. David González has been giving numerous national courses about the treatment of peri-implantitis and is considered a national authority about this issue.
For an example we have shown you the bibliographic reference of the article written by Dr. Reg. David González about a technique patented by him for the treatment of periodontitis.
