Abstract:
Implant treatment of partial edentulous periodontal compromised patients have led to a change in indication and therapy. After an adequate periodontal treatment for most of the patients there are no obstructions for implant treatment. However untreated periodontal disease and refractory periodontitis patients are at risk for complications. The diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment and maintenance of periodontal compromised patients need a multidisciplinary approach. A regular and tight maintenance program is essential to keep the periodontal and peri-implant tissues in a good condition.
