Prevention and prophylaxis of peri-implantitis include assessing the individual risk of disease. For this purpose, the data collected in the medical history and findings are used.
For prevention, attention must be paid to reducing individual risk factors.
Behavioral risk factors
- Diet
- Hydration
- Consumption of stimulants
- Tobacco (smoking)
- Oral hygiene
- Insufficient
- Not adapted to the clinical picture
- Insufficient use of dental checks
Medication
- Anticoagulants [inhibition of blood clotting; to generate a stable coagulum (blood clot) upon implantation, perioperative switch from phenprocoumon et al. to heparin]
- Bisphosphonates (drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis).
- Salivation-inhibiting drugs (drugs that inhibit the flow of saliva).
