The 2nd DentinalTubules Annual Global Congress October 2018 - Avoiding litigation: Preventing and managing peri-implant diseases

Professor Simon Wright, Kathryn Mayo and Jenny Walker, recorded at the 2nd DentinalTubules Annual Global Congress October 2018. This lecture is particularly useful for hygienists and therapists who undertake either implant maintenance, or implant-related non-surgical therapy. It provides a deep insight into what peri-implantitis is and the protocols you can use in practice for maintenance, treatment, and analysis (with risks and benefits) for all preferred forms of instrumentation.
