EFP publishes guideline on prevention and treatment of peri-implant diseases

Author(s): Infodent International

Brussels, 5 July 2023 - The EFP (European Federation of Periodontology; www.efp.org) has announced a new guideline aimed at helping oral health professionals around the world to better prevent and treat peri-implant diseases among their patients. Based on the latest scientific evidence, this guideline offers a set of recommendations to maintain the health of peri-implant tissues and to effectively manage peri-implant diseases.

Peri-implant diseases, although less familiar to the public than gingivitis and periodontitis, which affect the gums surrounding natural teeth, pose a significant health concern due to their high prevalence and associated consequences.

Prevention of peri-implant diseases should start as soon as dental implants are initially planned, states the guideline, defining those interventions within “primordial” prevention. Preventive interventions are also recommended when implants are surgically placed, or prosthetically loaded. Once implants are in function, the patient should follow a supportive peri-implant care programme, including periodic assessments of the periimplant tissue health and oral hygiene instructions. The popular assumption that maintaining hygiene at dental implants is somehow less demanding than around teeth is wrong - in fact the opposite is true The good news is that early detection of periimplant diseases makes treatment easier, faster and more prone to success.
