Peri-implant Infection – Etiology, Diagnosis and Treatment (2009) Frank Schwarz

Description

This book addresses the growing significance of treating post-implant complications, specifically peri-implant infections (peri-implantitis), which currently affect 12 to 43% of implant systems. It details the etiology, identified risk factors, diagnostic methods adapted from periodontology, and available treatment options, including non-surgical, surgical, resective, and regenerative modalities. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding necessary for successful long-term management and retention of implant-borne restorations, preventing implant failure.
