Webinar - October 2026 Branch Meeting | Peri-implantitis: The Decontamination Dilemma - from evolving diagnosis to implant surface management.

Dental implants are a cornerstone of modern restorative dentistry, but the rise of peri-implant diseases presents a critical clinical challenge. Are you equipped to distinguish early mucositis from advanced peri-implantitis and select the optimal treatment protocol?

Join us for an evidence-based, clinically focused presentation designed to elevate your diagnostic accuracy and surgical confidence.

What You Will Learn:

• Clear Diagnostic Frameworks: Master current case definitions to accurately differentiate peri-implant health, mucositis, and peri-implantitis.
• Prosthetic & Morphological Factors:Understand how prosthesis contour, hygiene access, and defect architecture directly dictate treatment outcomes.
• Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Decision-Making: Evaluate non-surgical, resective, and regenerative approaches - and learn the precise indicators for when implant removal is the best path forward.
• Decontamination Protocols: Appraise cutting-edge decontamination techniques - mechanical, chemical, photodynamic, and electrolytic - and their specific impacts on titanium surfaces.
• Long-Term Success: Formulate structured re-evaluation and supportive care programs to safeguard your treatment results.

Whether you are looking to refine your non-surgical maintenance routines or enhance complex regenerative therapies, this presentation provides actionable insights you can integrate directly into your practice.
