Abstract:

Treatment of periodontal disease, both non-surgical and surgical approaches, aims at 1) improving the periodontal status mainly by controlling local etiological factors and systemic contributory factors, and 2) maintaining the periodontal condition in a healthy state. Certain complications following periodontal treatment have been associated with the progression of the disease, are of major concern to the dentist and may in fact jeopardize the success of any performed oral rehabilitation procedures. Similarly, complications following implant therapy have been reported, particularly biological complications involving the peri-implant tissues, which may also affect the success rates of dental implants. This presentation will give an overview of the available evidence concerning complications following periodontal and implant therapy, and will propose some modern strategies on how to reduce the chances of occurrence of such complications.
