Advancing Awareness, Collaboration and Achievable Outcomes

"Peri-implantitis is not a regional problem; it's a worldwide problem, so coming together [at this symposium] for hands-on training and an honest discussion about what we know and what we still need to learn is what this conference will be all about.  It will stress a multidisciplinary approach with both surgeon and restorative dentists learning how collaboration on diagnosis and treatment can increase successful outcomes." – Dr. Stuart Froum, Co-organizing Chairman

Global exchange of high-level ideas and information will be carried throughout the event. The hands-on workshops, on Friday, June 9^th, will be limited in attendance and are sure to sell out quickly. These interactive programs will review "Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy", presented by Dr. Marisa Roncati of Italy and "Corrections for the Prevention and Management of Peri-Implant Diseases", presented by Prof. Dr. Frank Schwarz of Germany.

About Peri-Implantitis -

Peri-implant disease is a pathological condition around dental implants with an incident rate that varies widely based on the assessment protocol. The disease ranges from reversible mucositis lesions (reflecting a host's response to bacterial challenge) to non-reversible peri-implantitis, where significant alveolar bone has been lost.¹ In the restoration of implants and in the treatment of peri-implant infections, an analogous approach to systematic periodontal therapy should be considered.
