Peri-implantitis is one of the implant pathologies that requires greater knowledge due to its great aggressiveness, development and evolution. In many cases the clinical-surgical decision to explant or regenerate (see Blog) will depend on multiple factors such as:
- Cause of the appearance of the pathology.
- Analysis of the defect: Content or not content depending on the pattern of bone loss.
- Degree of peri-implant loss and resorption: Mild, moderate or severe.
- Number of affected implants providing support to the prosthesis.
- Possibility or impossibility of complete disinfection of the implant surface (Partial or total).
- Risk/benefit balance.
- Systemic diseases with impaired healing.
- Others
One of the limitations that will determine success when performing guided bone regeneration on our fixations is the complete decontamination of the affected implant surface. Sometimes due to difficult access and even being in an optimal position, we cannot ensure complete asepsis, so its subsequent regeneration may be exposed to contamination of our graft or a recurrence and new appearance of peri-implantitis.
Dr Pedro Peña presents us with a new protocol for disinfecting the surface of our implants through serum electrolysis, generating Hydrogen bubbles with disinfectant power for the macro and microscopy of our surface.
In addition to the protocol established through the use of GalvoSurge® from Nobel BiocareTM, our expert Dr. Pedro Peña will present a bibliographic review of the different methods of disinfecting the surface of implants, their benefits and limitations.
At the same time, the biological pattern that is established and the different regeneration protocols will also be mentioned, as well as the analysis of defects in order to establish a more predictable vision of our regenerations in this common evil that we all suffer, will suffer or have suffered throughout our professional life.
Don’t miss this Masterclass whose objective is to show a reliable method, with a biological and scientific basis, of one of the most important factors to take into account in our regenerations on inert surfaces such as implants.
