IMPROVEMENT OF PERIODONTAL TREATMENT METHODS IN PATIENTS WITH DENTAL IMPLANTS

In connection with the increase in the number of dental implants installed, there is an increase in the number of inflammatory processes - mucositis and peri-implantitis, which rank first among the complications after dental implantation. Our study confirmed the high clinical effectiveness of the GBT protocol combined with the use of a brush for reciprocating rotation with pulsation in the complex of supportive periodontal therapy. Hence, we can recommend this complex not only for patients at risk (with a history of inflammatory periodontal diseases), but also for other patients with dental implants. This protocol of maintenance therapy is a simple and cost-effective way to prevent inflammatory complications after dental implantation.
