Treatment Outcomes and Continuing Care
Based on a description of the differences between periodontal and peri-implant tissues, peri-implantitis and peri-implant mucositis are defined. Preventive measures to avoid peri-implant infection are listed, and treatment strategies are outlined, including cumulative interceptive supportive therapy (CIST) for peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.
