Course Overview
Presented by EMS
The aim of this article is to explore the early detection and management of peri-implant disease, with a focus on recognising peri-implant mucositis, assessing risk and applying a structured, biofilm-focused approach to support long-term implant outcomes.
Learning outcomes
On completing this Enhanced CPD session, the reader will be able to:
- Understand the clinical significance of peri-implant mucositis as a reversible stage of oral disease that can progress to peri-implantitis if missed
- Recognise the clinical signs of peri-implant mucositis and assess implants systematically
- Apply risk-based recall strategies for patients with a history of periodontitis
Identify how Guided Biofilm Therapy supports effective implant maintenance, including its differences from traditional approaches.
