How can implant treatment be performed when there is periodontitis?

Before starting a treatment with dental implants, you should treat any infectious focus that exists. It is necessary to carry out a hygienic phase, creating a healthy environment in the mouth. 

After this periodontal treatment, you will have to analyze the jawbone, to know its dimensions and quality.

When periodontitis is very advanced, the bone may not be suitable for implant placement. If the bone is not in optimal condition, a bone graft should be performed, before inserting the dental implant.

It is important to note that the patient who has suffered from periodontal disease in his teeth may suffer peri-implant disease, because there is the predominant bacteria for this disease. You can learn more about this peri-implant disease here.
