Dental Implants & Neglect

Join Periodontist Dr Sal Shahdi for a webinar answering your most common questions related to patients who have dental implants with a focus on implant neglect during COVID-19 and the resulting complications.

The replacement of missing teeth with dental implants is a common treatment option, attractive for dentists and sought-after by patients. The number of dental implants placed worldwide is increasing continuously. Unfortunately, the increasing number of implants is accompanied by an increasing number of complications including peri-implant diseases, peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.

Join Periodontist Dr Sal Shahdi for a webinar answering your most common questions related to patients who have dental implants with a focus on implant neglect during COVID-19 and the resulting complications.

Dr Shahdi will discuss:

• Key preventative measures to maximise longevity of dental implants and minimise risks for peri-implant disease
• Consequences of biofilm build up on implants
• Patient compliance – how to communicate to patients during the COVID-19 crisis to ensure they are maintaining peri-implant health
