The treatment of peri-implant infections on dental implants (S3 guideline, GERMANY)

31 December 2022

The guideline addresses nonsurgical and surgical therapies for peri-implant mucositis and perimplantitis on dental implants.
The main findings are: Complete healing of peri-implant mucositis could not be predictably achieved in all patients after using both alternative and conventional biofilm removal procedures. Therefore, regular follow-up visits (e.g., every 3 months) should be scheduled for early detection of the need for retreatment. Alternative biofilm removal procedures should be used for non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. If the treatment objective cannot be achieved by nonsurgical therapy, advanced lesions in particular should receive early surgical therapy. For further information, please refer to the original text (see below). The guideline is valid from December 2022 to December 2027
