These antibiotics are used
With the antibiotic therapy 2 different medicines became generally accepted. In the case of certain allergies and intolerances, the patient should always consult the doctor to find a suitable alternative medication.
- Doxycycline and minocycline (broad-spectrum antibiotics from the group of tetracyclines).
Duration
The duration of a treatment cannot be predicted as it is individual and dependent on the patient in each case. However, it should be noted that regular professional tooth cleaning with special cleaning of the implant is essential for the preservation of an implant. For example, regular check-ups can prevent peri-implant mucositis from developing into peri-implantitis in the first place. These regular checks should always be carried out.
Costs
The implantation is a private service that is not covered by the statutory health insurance. The same applies to the therapy of peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis. The costs must be covered by a private bill.
They depend on the chosen procedure and the necessary additional services depending on the complexity of the case. It therefore always depends on whether a surgical procedure is necessary or whether it is simply a mechanical removal of the deposits on the implant (non-surgical therapy). In any case you should discuss the costs with your dentist to avoid a surprise in the invoice amount.
