Dental implant infection ================================

Dental implant infection: Sometimes, dental implants can become infected, causing inflammation of the soft tissue and bone loss around the implant, often due to a condition called peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition similar to gum disease and involves symptoms supporting the gums around the implant.. Gums which bleed easily when brushing their teeth... sensitive or swollen gums around the implant and increasing the depth of the pocket around the implant...

Diagnosis of dental implant infection

One of the first things an implant specialist will do is take an x-ray of the infected dental implant to see if there is any bone loss.. He may also gently examine the area around the implant to assess the level of infection and inflammation.. Implant, early detection is important. Depending on the level of infection, your dentist may prescribe special mouthwashes or a combination of other options to get the implant back on track. One of the problems of this disease, like gum disease in teeth, is that it often does not cause pain, and as a result, most patients are unaware of implant infection.. The periodontist evaluates the source of inflammation because peri-implant has many causes. **Preimplantation can be caused by the following problems**: - cement residue (glue) on the implant - Placing the implants too close to each other or angulation of the implant in the bone - Poor oral and dental hygiene - Low bone quality - systemic problems such as diabetes, smoking - implant fracture - Overloading the implant. A growing number of studies report that peri-implantitis affects up to 30% of all implants placed, with anaerobic bacteria being the main culprit.

### Peri-implantitis treatment

Once the infection is diagnosed, the treatment depends on the amount of bone loss and the aesthetic effect of the desired implant.... Then it will be very important to clean the surface of the infected dental implant and if possible, reconstruct the lost supporting bone through bone grafting... Some of the ways you can clean the surface of the implant are through surgical and non-surgical treatment such as .. 1) Local debridement 2) disinfection of the implant surface 3) Antiseptic treatment and in case of advanced bone loss 4) Removal of the implant itself The treatment of peri-implantitis is a very sensitive technique depending on the type of implant used, the location of the dental implant and the severity of bone loss.

For a mild implant infection, the implant specialist may use antibiotics, because a more severe infection may require surgical intervention for mechanical disinfection and chemotherapy around the dental implant.. Was it cured?

If the infection and bone loss are in the early stages, bacterial plaques and stones can be removed non-surgically with possible antibiotic therapy and modification of the prosthesis design.... The earlier the dental implant infection is treated, the easier the treatment and the more likely it is to be successful.. Disinfect the soft tissues surrounding the implant, the surface of the micro-implant, and finally use bone regeneration techniques aimed at restoring the lost bone.. If the dental implant has already loosened due to severe infection, it is not possible to save it.... In this case, the implant must be removed and the local area must be grafted with the next implant.. Steps.

If you have dental implants, it is very important to have a periodic checkup and professional cleaning every four to six months. This allows the implant specialist to check your dental implants for any signs of early inflammation and infection so that immediate action can be taken if symptoms are found.
