Zhuhai Vickong Dental has always been committed to providing high-quality dental implant services. To further enhance the professional expertise of its medical team, Dr. Chen Hexi, Director of the Implantology Department at Vickong Dental, recently organized a specialized seminar on "Peri-implantitis", discussing its causes and effective preventive measures with medical staff to ensure long-term stability of patients' dental implants.

Analysis of Peri-implantitis Causes

During the seminar, Director Chen Hexi first provided a detailed introduction to the definition and clinical manifestations of peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis refers to an inflammatory disease affecting the soft and hard tissues around dental implants, similar to periodontitis in natural teeth. If not treated early, it may lead to bone loss around the implant and even implant failure.

Director Chen highlighted the following key causes of peri-implantitis:

Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate post-operative oral care leads to plaque accumulation, triggering inflammation.

Improper Surgical Techniques: Failure to adhere to aseptic protocols during surgery or incorrect implant positioning increases infection risks.

Excessive Occlusal Load: Uneven force distribution after restoration can cause chronic bone damage around the implant.

Systemic Factors: Patients with diabetes or smokers, who have weaker immunity and tissue regeneration, are more prone to peri-implantitis.

Insufficient Follow-up: Lack of timely check-ups prevents early detection and intervention.

Key Preventive Measures for Peri-implantitis

To address these causes, Director Chen and the medical team discussed effective preventive strategies:

Comprehensive Pre-operative Assessment: Evaluate patients' oral and overall health to ensure suitability for implants and develop personalized treatment plans.

Strict Surgical Standards: Maintain aseptic conditions and precise implant placement to minimize tissue trauma.

Optimized Prosthetic Design: Ensure balanced occlusal forces and use biocompatible materials.

Enhanced Patient Education: Instruct patients on proper oral hygiene, including interdental cleaning tools, and advise on smoking cessation and blood sugar control.

Long-term Follow-up System: Vickong Dental implements "Full-value-chain Follow-up Care", with dedicated staff monitoring patients from pre-op to post-op, scheduling regular check-ups to detect issues early.

Zhuhai Vickong Dental: Ensuring Long-term Implant Success Through Full-process Care

Adhering to its "Patient-centered" philosophy, Zhuhai Vickong Dental maintains strict quality control at every stage—pre-operative assessment, surgery, and post-operative care. Director Chen emphasized that implant success relies not only on surgical expertise but also on patient compliance and long-term maintenance.

To this end, Vickong Dental has established a post-operative follow-up system, with dedicated staff tracking recovery progress, and regularly holds case-sharing seminars to refine treatment approaches. The clinic also utilizes advanced international implant systems and digital equipment to enhance precision and success rates.

Peri-implantitis is a critical factor affecting implant longevity. Through this seminar, Vickong Dental’s team gained deeper insights into its prevention. Moving forward, Vickong Dental will continue strengthening professional training and optimizing services to deliver safer, more reliable implant solutions, helping more patients regain healthy smiles.
