Successful long-term oral rehabilitation is not determined solely by the quality of the restorations or implantology protocols, but above all by the stability of the supporting bone and soft tissues. Biological stability is the foundation upon which functional and aesthetic results are built in any complex rehabilitation.
Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent preventable disease globally and can have serious
health consequences and negative impact on quality of live. Even though many clinicians
decide to replace a tooth with implant, it is important to understand that treating complications
around implants is much more challenging and unpredictable then treating periodontally
affected teeth. Today we have clear science-based recommendations that can help us in
treatment planning and creating standardized periodontal care. Proper understanding of
biological principles, development and progression of periodontal disease as well as
understanding and creating simplified protocols play a key role in periodontal treatment.
Minimally invasive non-surgical and surgical concepts, flap design, what materials are effective
and how to properly maintain a post surgical and supportive phase will be explained in this
lecture.
