Conference summary
Peri-implantitis represents a growing challenge in modern implantology, and is characterized by an inflammatory process that leads to the destruction of the soft and hard tissues supporting a dental implant, potentially resulting in its eventual loss.
Given that the aetiology of peri-implantitis is associated with the peri-implant biofilm, effective decontamination of the affected implant surface is one of the key pillars in the clinical management of this condition.
This session aims to review and discuss the main decontamination methods currently used in the treatment of peri-implant disease, including mechanical and chemical techniques, analyzing their respective indications, limitations, and the available scientific evidence.
Challenges related to the complex morphology of implant surfaces and bacterial adhesion will also be addressed, as well as future perspectives for a more effective and predictable intervention.
The goal is to provide a critical and updated overview of the topic, promoting more informed clinical decision-making.
