Peri-Implantitis

Peri-implant disease is an inflammatory condition that affects the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants. Mucositis is the early and reversible form of peri-implant disease. It is characterized by inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding the implant without any loss of supporting bone. Peri-implantitis is the more advanced form of peri-implant disease, involving both soft tissue inflammation and progressive loss of the supporting bone around the implant.
