This webinar will explore the latest advancements in the prevention and treatment of peri-implantitis, focusing on the use of guided biofilm therapy, specifically air powder abrasive systems. Attendees will gain insights into the clinical benefits of guided biofilm therapy using AIRFLOW and PERIOFLOW technology for biofilm removal and PIEZON PI MAX for hard deposit to maintain implant health. The session will cover both preventive strategies and therapeutic approaches, emphasizing evidence-based techniques for managing peri-implantitis in clinical practice.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the role of airflow technology in the prevention and treatment of peri-implantitis.
- Review clinical protocols and clinical studies that demonstrate effective management of peri-implantitis using guided biofilm therapy.
- Learn a step-by-step approach to surgically treat peri-implantitis and peri-mucositis disease using air powder abrasive technology, including patient selection, treatment planning, and post-operative care.
