What Is Peri-Implantitis?
Peri-implantitis is a serious inflammatory condition affecting the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants. It involves progressive bone loss and can lead to implant failure if not diagnosed and treated in time.

- Persistent bleeding or discharge around the implant
- Swelling or redness in the gums
- Pain or tenderness around the implant site
- Bad breath or unpleasant taste
- Gum recession or implant exposure

What Causes Peri-Implantitis?
Peri-implantitis can be triggered by several factors:
- Poor oral hygiene and plaque accumulation
- Smoking
- Uncontrolled diabetes or systemic health conditions
- Improper implant placement or overloading

Prevention starts with proper care:
- Maintain oral hygiene with soft brushes and interdental tools
- Routine check-ups every 4–6 months
- Quit smoking or reduce tobacco use
