Dental implants are highly predictable, yet peri-implant inflammation remains a growing clinical concern.
With peri-implant mucositis affecting nearly half of implant patients and peri-implantitis continuing to challenge long-term outcomes, understanding the biological drivers of disease is essential.

This evidence-based program explores the structural differences between natural teeth and implants, the role of dysbiosis in chronic inflammation, and the progression from peri-implant health to peri-implantitis. Participants will gain clarity on how microbial imbalance and unresolved inflammation contribute to tissue breakdown across all stages of care — from early detection to active management and supportive therapy.

The course also reviews implant-specific clinical research evaluating strain specific Lactobacillus reuteri Prodentis as an adjunct to mechanical debridement. Through a stage-based, risk-based approach, attendees will explore how microbiome modulation may support inflammatory stabilization in selected cases.

Designed for dental hygienists and clinicians involved in implant therapy, this program bridges biological understanding with practical application.

Presented by: Lorraine Gambacourt, RDH and Christine Crawford, RDH, B.Sc., M.Ed.
