Peri-implantitis is one of the principal challenges in contemporary implantology. Its management requires more than treating an already established lesion; it demands an understanding of the multiple factors that can lead to its development.
This book addresses peri-implantitis from a comprehensive perspective, beginning with prevention and the identification of risk factors related to the patient, the implant, the tissues and the restoration itself. Throughout its chapters, it examines the mechanisms involved in the loss of biological stability, early and late complications, and the criteria for establishing a diagnosis and making well-founded therapeutic decisions.
Two of the central concepts in the text are retreatment and rescue. Rather than adopting a view focused exclusively on preserving the affected implant, it proposes that each situation should be assessed in light of the prognosis of the restoration as a whole and the future therapeutic options available. In certain scenarios, removing an implant at the appropriate time may represent a more conservative decision than prolonging treatment aimed at maintaining it at all costs, thereby allowing, when necessary, retreatment of the restoration.
The book also develops different strategies for the treatment of peri-implantitis, minimally invasive explantation, preservation of the receiving bed, and planning of a new restoration when required. The analysis of the final clinical cases brings these principles into daily practice, demonstrating how the decisions taken at each stage condition the options available in the future.
In summary, this work presents a clinical approach aimed at preventing complications, diagnosing them early and intervening before tissue loss limits our therapeutic resources, always preserving bone and soft tissues to ensure the long-term viability of treatment.
