On this week’s episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition, Katrina Sanders, continues her discussion around Peri-Implant soft and hard tissue deficiencies, today discussing Peri-Implant failure. 

 

Quotes: 

 

“Remember, when we talk about peri-implant failure, it's critical for us as clinicians to ensure that we are assessing potential challenges that could be in the soft or the hard tissues around a dental implant.”

 

“Research now is telling us that dental implants have 80% less attachment apparatus around them when compared with teeth.”
