In the latest episode of the Next Regeneration podcast, hosts Anina and Elena talk to Frank Schwarz about his groundbreaking work on peri-implant diseases. Schwarz shares his extensive experience in the treatment of peri-implantitis and emphasises the importance of prevention and personalised care programmes.

He discusses the various risk factors for developing peri-implantitis and potential prevention strategies. Schwarz also reflects on the differing views of patients and clinicians on what constitutes successful treatment. Finally, he offers his vision for the future of peri-implant disease research. While he doubts the feasibility of developing implants that are completely resistant to peri-implantitis, he believes the future lies in careful patient selection and modulation of the host immune response.
