LAPIP® Protocol Rochester, NY LAPIP® ProtocolCan Help Protect Your Dental Implants
What is peri - implantitis?Peri-implantitis is an infection occurring around a dental Implant. Gums may be red, inflamed, or receding. This infection causes bone loss and eventual loss of the implant itself. What is the difference between peri-muctositis and peri - implantitis?Both are an infection around the implant; peri-mucotitis is the early stages of the infection and does not involve bone loss. Peri - implantitis is the progression of the infection and includes bone loss. What if you don't treat?If you choose not to treat the infection around your dental implant, the dental implant will become loose and may fall out; the infection can spread to the teeth around the implant. What causes peri-implantits?Just as there are many causes of gum disease, there are many causes of peri-implant infections including poor oral care and grinding your teeth. Risk factors include medical issues such as diabetes, osteoporosis, and a poor immune system. Smokers and patients with an initial diagnosis of gum disease are a higher risk of implant loss.
