Peri-implant inflammation
Suitability and methods depend on your condition. This is general medical information, not a diagnosis. Confirm actual clinic services and your plan during consultation. This translation needs review by a clinician and a native-language reviewer.
Understanding the treatment
We distinguish inflammation of the soft tissue around an implant from peri-implantitis involving loss of supporting bone.
What do we examine?
Bleeding, pus, tissue probing depth, oral hygiene and necessary imaging are assessed. Earlier examinations, when available, help compare changes and bone condition.
Examination and treatment steps
- Examine surrounding tissue
- Assess inflammation and bone
- Hygiene guidance and necessary treatment
- Reassess after treatment
- Regular maintenance
Steps may change or additional care may be needed after examination.
“The gums around my implant bleed”
Bleeding, swelling or discomfort requires gum assessment. Inflammation may occur with little pain, and symptoms alone cannot determine whether bone has been lost.
Treatment depends on the extent of damage
Cleaning methods and necessary nonsurgical care are reviewed. Persistent inflammation or bone damage may require assessment for surgery or implant removal.
Care after treatment
Choose interdental cleaning tools to suit the spaces and restoration. Continue checking inflammation and tissue changes after treatment.
Points to consider
Inflammation may recur and further treatment may be needed. Smoking, previous periodontal disease and hygiene are considered.
