Retrospective on Treating Periimplantitis

Edward R Kusek *

The aim of this case report was to present the most common causes of periimplantitis that the author has seen in 27 years of implant placement. Treatment has progressed from treatment with chemical means to use of laser therapy. The cases discussed involve overstressed; apical pathology from adjacent tooth; retained cement on final prosthesis and residual bacteria left due to endodontic or periodontal pathology. The use of laser therapy has allowed a consistent treatment approach. The article shows a number of treatment modalities and in some cases how to prevent periimplantitis.
