Dental implant procedures are currently the most effective and safest solution to rehabilitate the oral cavity when one or more teeth have been lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Implants, like teeth, can be lifelong, but they can also suffer from certain pathologies. The most important of these is an inflammatory disease that leads to the destruction of the supporting tissues of the implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the disease only affects the gum, it is referred to as a Mucositis, <\/strong> but, if not treated in time, it can lead to the destruction of the bone around the implant, which is known as the Peri-implantitis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to their nature, implants rarely cause pain, so we must be much more attentive to the symptoms, and go periodically for check-ups. Some of these symptoms are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n CAUSES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TREATMENT AND PREVENTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The main goal of treatment is to stop progressive bone loss by controlling the bacterial infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bone destruction is faster and more aggressive on implants than on teeth, so we must act as soon as possible to stop peri-implantitis. To do this we would combine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n But as the saying goes: prevention is better than cure. And to prevent peri-implantitis, the most important thing is to maintain good hygiene, both at home and by attending regular check-ups at the dental clinic. In these check-ups we will clean the whole mouth, but with special emphasis on the implants, and using specific instruments that are different from those used on teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any questions about your oral health or any treatment such as invisible orthodontics, dental veneers<\/a>, dental implants<\/a>, invisible orthodontics<\/a> or other treatments do not hesitate to contact our team at V\u00e9lez y Lozano. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dental implant procedures are currently the most effective and safest solution for rehabilitating the oral cavity when one or more teeth have been lost.
