SUMMARY:Bournemouth Study Club
UID:476
DESCRIPTION:Over the last five to ten years there has been considerable discussion about bone loss around dental implants\, peri-implantitis and peri-mucositis. Various groups\, including the ADI\, have had consensus conferences and produced statements and guidelines on the management and maintenance of implants. Despite this there still remains significant confusion on the subject. There is a section of the dental implant community who don't agree with most of the proposed guidelines to date and who have a very real concern that if following current monitoring "guidelines"\, many patients will be receiving treatment that they don't need.\n\nIn the 2016 Periodontology 2000 publication\, a paper was presented by part of the team at Edinburgh Dental Specialists that made a convincing argument against the use of bleeding on probing and pocket depths as effective monitoring indices.\n\nThis presentation will be looking at the current "zero tolerance" for plaque\, BOP\, pocket depth over 4mm and pus exudate - asking where is the evidence? Does it really hold up? How should we be assessing our implants? And\, if bone loss has been seen to occur\, how should we manage it? \n\nIn addition we will also look at “risk factors” and specifically where periodontal diseases factor into the development of bone loss around implants.\n\nAims and Objectives:\n\nTo understand the reasons for bone loss around implants To understand why the current "guidelines" exist and the "evidence" to back them upTo understand why the "evidence" may not be being interpreted appropriately Delegates should have a greater understanding of the reasons for bone loss around implants and why the vast majority is not due to peri-implantitis.Delegates will understand why there is confusion and why current guidelines may be misleadingDelegates will be made aware of a proposed simple monitoring system for all implants Ideas on management of bone loss around implants will be presented
