"Dental Implants: Peri-Implantitis" Fast Facts: Perio Edition

On this week's episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition, Katrina Sanders, continues her discussion around dental implants, today diving into peri-implantitis.    Quotes:    "They describe peri-implantitis as a pathological condition that occurs in the tissues that surround the dental implant, beginning with inflammation around that peri-implant connective tissue, and then, of course, progressing into loss of supportive bone."   "At the histological level, when we compare peri-implantitis sites to periodontitis sites, we actually find that there are higher inflammatory lesions around peri-implantitis sites."   Resources:   DentistRX: https://www.dentistrx.com  More Fast Facts: https://www.ataleoftwohygienists.com/fast-facts/    Katrina Sanders Website: https://www.katrinasanders.com  Katrina Sanders Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedentalwinegenist/    Renvert, Stefan, G.
