Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
- Diagnosis of peri-implantitis should consider the complex microbial profile and clinical parameters.
Management
- Mechanical debridement is the cornerstone of nonsurgical therapy, often supplemented with local antibiotics.
Monitoring & Follow-up
- Clinical parameters such as probing depth and bleeding on probing should be monitored post-treatment.
Risks
- Potential risks include titanium particle release from implantoplasty and transient benefits from antiseptic agents.
