‘Too little too late: early diagnosis saves teeth – but maybe not implants’

Professor Iain Chapple, professor and head of periodontology at the School of Dentistry, University of Birmingham

Cases involving periodontal disease and late failures of implants due to ‘peri-implantitis’ are two of the hottest topics in UK dental claims. Whether or not you place or restore implants yourself, periodontal disease and failing implants are two conditions that every clinician must be able to identify and manage appropriately. This presentation will consider the links, similarities and challenges presented by these two related but distinct conditions and suggest ways to manage them.
