🦷 What determines the long-term success of a dental implant? Today, the answer extends far beyond implant design or surgical technique.
Emerging evidence shows that dental implants are biologically active systems, continuously interacting with the peri-implant tissues, the oral microbiome, and the host. Long-term clinical success depends on maintaining this delicate symbiosis. Once this balance is disrupted, peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis may develop.
At VIDEC 2026, Prof. Nikos Mattheos – an internationally renowned expert in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, and Head of Education at the International Team for Implantology (ITI) – will present the lecture:
🔐 “Plaque-induced Peri-implantitis: An ancient problem with new dimensions.”
Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, this lecture will explore:
🔹 The dynamic interactions between microbial communities, implant components, peri-implant tissues, and the host in the development of peri-implant diseases.
🔹 The key clinical factors that help maintain symbiosis or increase the risk of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.
🔹 Evidence-based strategies for the prevention, early detection, and management of plaque-induced peri-implant diseases.
🔹 The importance of comprehensive treatment planning, thoughtful design of the implant-prosthesis–tissue complex, and individualized maintenance protocols in achieving predictable long-term clinical outcomes.
💡 The “old challenge” remains bacterial plaque. The “new vision” is to understand dental implants as dynamic biological systems, where the balance between microorganisms, biomaterials, peri-implant tissues, and the host ultimately determines health or disease.
📍 Join us at VIDEC 2026 to discover the latest evidence on the prevention and management of peri-implant diseases, and explore how biologically driven approaches are shaping the future of modern implant dentistry.
