After dental implants, peri-implantitis symptoms such as gum recession are usually difficult to eradicate. It is recommended to maintain oral hygiene and regular cleaning to delay gum recession.
Peri-implantitis is one of the most common causes of implant failure. It is mainly characterized by inflammation, recession and swelling of the gums, which leads to failure of osseointegration or insufficient support of the implant, resulting in loosening and loss of the implant. The most fundamental way to prevent peri-implantitis such as gum recession is to maintain oral hygiene for a long period of time.
It is recommended that patients with systemic diseases such as diabetes control systemic diseases; patients who smoke quit smoking; in addition, morning and evening brushing, rinsing after meals, regular gingival cleaning. Regular follow-up visits to the dentist are also recommended to minimize the progression of the disease.
