Conference summary
According to the latest AAP and EFP consensus statements, peri-implantitis is highly prevalent, its management challenging, and associated with significant morbidity. Hence, prevention is of outmost importance.
This presentation will reveal new insights and define an up-to-date understanding of the soft tissue barrier and respective physiology around dental implants.
A closer look is taken at established implant-abutment-prosthetic junctions. In particular, connections located intra-tissular and related componentry surface characteristics are continuously stressing peri-implant tissue physiology and jeopardizing soft tissue health. Thus, an early onset of peri-implantitis is facilitated.
In return, a stringent zero gap philosophy by using a 2-piece tissue-level implant design allows for a rapid and undisturbed formation of the peri-implant soft tissue barrier. Moreover, a mucophilic surface at the level of the peri-implant soft tissue barrier enables instant cell adhesion, fast and unhindered cell migration, and a physiological turnover. In consequence, an unrivaled peri-implant soft-tissue barrier is established around this particular 2-piece tissue-level zirconia implant which secures long-lasting soft tissue health.
Clinical short- and long-term data confirm that this specific material and design combination prevents peri-implantitis best.
