Cell-to-cell Communication: Peri-implantitis and Its Prevention

Peri-implantitis is one of the main threats to the long-term survival of implants, and understanding it means looking at the peri-implant tissues and at the inflammatory response that settles in them. Tord Berglundh, Søren Jepsen, Bernd Stadlinger and Hendrik Terheyden devote this multimedia instalment of the Cell-to-Cell Communication series to the subject, focusing on the cellular mechanisms of the disease and on how to prevent it. Conceived as a visual, didactic resource, it helps the implant dentist ground maintenance biologically and put the case to the patient with real arguments. Material in English.
