Dental implants have become an increasingly popular option for replacement of absent or failing teeth. They have high rates of long‐term survival (≥10 years) when used to support various types of dental prostheses. However, bone loss around dental implants associated with bacterial infection (Peri-implant mucositis and Peri-implantitis) may occur compromising long-term retention of dental implants in many patients. In this presentation, we will look at:

1. How to diagnose Peri-implantitis and Peri-implant mucositis - Evaluation of clinical and radiographic parameters

2. How to treat Peri-implant infections

3. Maintenance programme to achieve long-term survival of dental implant
