Implantology for Patients with Periodontitis

Bone loss caused by periodontitis
Periodontitis is one of the main causes of tooth loss and dental implant failure. The Bilateral Sinus Solution™ (BSS) technique offers periodontitis patients a solution that bypasses the infected areas, anchoring in the healthy basal bone.

Periodontitis and bone loss

Periodontitis is a chronic bacterial inflammatory disease that destroys the alveolar bone leading to mobility and tooth loss. In periodontitis patients the residual alveolar bone is often insufficient for traditional implants and the susceptibility to infections increases the risk of peri-implantitis.

Requirements for implantology

Before implantology in periodontitis patients it is necessary: periodontal decontamination therapy, control of the disease with periodic maintenance, assessment of the recurrence risk and planning with Cone Beam CT to evaluate the residual bone.

Before implantology in periodontitis patients it is necessary:

Pre-implant decontamination

The pre-implant decontamination in periodontitis patients includes: removal of plaque and tartar, targeted antibiotic therapy, extraction of the compromised teeth and control of the bacterial flora before the implant placement.

The pre-implant decontamination in periodontitis patients includes:

Why BSS is indicated

The Bilateral Sinus Solution™ (BSS) is particularly indicated in periodontitis patients: it anchors in the healthy basal bone, far from the infected areas, without grafts or lifts, with immediate loading and a prosthesis without fake gum that facilitates hygiene and prevents peri-implantitis.

The Bilateral Sinus Solution™ (BSS) is particularly indicated in periodontitis patients:

The Circolare d'Autore® prosthesis

Circolare d'Autore® is the registered dental prosthesis that completes the rehabilitation: 14 ceramic teeth without fake gum, all molars and posterior connections for basal implants that fully restore the 100x100 power of human chewing force and the masseter.
