Regenerative Therapy for Peri-implantitis: Hope or Hype?
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
Peri-implant diseases are highly prevalent, with peri-implantitis often presenting as a complex and challenging clinical condition. Regenerative therapies offer promising potential for achieving optimal outcomes, but their effectiveness and predictability remain subjects of ongoing debate. This course critically evaluates the efficacy, challenges, and future directions of regenerative approaches, providing an in-depth look at both their potential benefits and limitations in clinical practice. Participants will explore the latest research, clinical outcomes, and case studies, equipping them with the knowledge to make informed decisions about incorporating regenerative therapies into their treatment plans for peri-implantitis. By the end of the course, attendees will have a balanced perspective on whether regenerative therapy is a viable treatment option or if it remains more hype than reality in the context of peri-implantitis management.
