Patients with periodontal disease are clear candidates for treatment with dental implants. It is an indispensable condition to have previously treated the periodontitis and to have it controlled in order to proceed to place implants with the same guarantees of success as a healthy person. We must not forget that the same bacteria that cause an infection on the Periodontitis tooth, act on the implants causing a Perimplantitis.
In order to avoid Perimplantitis, ie infection around the implant, it is very important to avoid risk factors such as smoking and to perform thorough oral hygiene at home accompanied by compliance with the visits scheduled in the review and maintenance plan in order to avoid the loss of the implant.
