Biologically driven implant disasters are a reality. The truism that “implants are not teeth” continues to impact the dental health care professional daily. Although management of destructive peri-implant lesions is improving—predictability is arguably still lacking.  We must therefore minimize our patient’s risk and be vigilant.   In this session we will visit some of the myths and realities related to risk of peri-implantitis and peri-implant mucositis.  The dental team as a whole will have to continue to play a major part in managing patients afflicted by these conditions, in an effort to improve the long-term outcomes.

• Understand and apply the latest 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions consensus findings to implant disease

• Effectively and responsibly counsel our implant patients on peri-implant disease risks
