Periodontitis is a serious, multifactorial disease affecting a large proportion of the population. A particular group of periodontopathogenic bacteria as well as the genetic background of the patient are the main causes.
Peri-implantitis is also a multifactorial disease with many parallels to periodontitis. Here, too, it comes to tissue degradation and gum recession. However, on an implant and not on a tooth.

The successful treatment of periodontitis is important not just for tooth preservation. Infection of the periodontal apparatus can also have consequences for general health, because the bacteria enter the bloodstream via the infected gum tissue.
If periodontitis is to be treated successfully, the treatment measures must be coordinated in terms of content, causal aspects and timing – from the thorough examination to lifelong maintenance therapy.
If antibiotic therapy is required for treating periodontitis, this should be confirmed diagnostically because of the issue of increasing resistance to antibiotics. Because not all species of bacteria are sensitive to the same antibiotic.
