Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the soft and hard tissues around a Dental Implant. Factors like bacterial infection, poor oral hygiene, smoking, and systemic conditions can contribute to peri-implantitis. This condition is more prevalent in traditional implants, whereas immediate-loading implants like Corticobasal® Implants are not prone to this disease. Dr. Vivek Gaur is an illustrious implantologist and dental expert who heads Simpladent Clinics at Kaushambi, Ghaziabad, India. He shares some pro tips on preventing & treating peri-implantitis.
What Causes Peri-Implantitis?
Peri-implantitis typically results from bacterial infection due to:
- Poor oral hygiene
- Smoking and alcohol use
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Improper implant placement or design
- Lack of regular follow-up appointments
Warning Signs to Watch For:
- Swelling or bleeding around the implant
- Deep pockets around the implant site
- Pain during chewing
- Implant mobility or pus discharge
Prevention Tips from Dr. Vivek Gaur
To ensure the longevity of your Dental Implant, follow these preventive strategies:
- Use a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive toothpaste
- Clean interdental areas with floss or an interdental brush
- Rinse daily with an antimicrobial mouthwash
- Avoid biting hard substances like ice or nuts
- Visit your implantologist every 6 months for maintenance checkups
Treatment Options for Peri-Implantitis
Dr. Vivek Gaur emphasizes a stage-wise treatment approach:
| Stage | Treatment Approach |
| Early inflammation | Professional cleaning, chlorhexidine rinse |
| Moderate bone loss | Local antibiotics, decontamination procedures |
| Advanced infection | Surgical intervention, guided bone regeneration, or implant removal |
He also highlights the role of CorticoBasal® Implants in minimizing such risks due to their unique design and anchorage in the cortical bone – making them less prone to infection and peri-implant bone loss. He uses only Simpladent Brand Dental Implants that are imported from Switzerland.
