Meer over het boek

The book emphasizes the growing prevalence of peri-implant diseases, particularly peri-implantitis, alongside the rising use of dental implants for tooth replacement. It highlights the necessity for periodontics and implant specialists to be well-versed in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions. Citing research by Lekholm, Astrand, and Kim, it notes the impressive survival rates of implants, yet underscores the importance of addressing the biological complications that accompany this routine dental procedure.
