Lecture
Primordial, Primary and Secondary Prevention in Implant Dentistry: Biological, Technical
and Procedural Aspects
During this lecture, within the limited time available, I will provide an overview of the main
biological, surgical, prosthetic and technical principles that enable the clinician to prevent
biological complications and ensure long-term implant success. The presentation will then focus on
the analysis of patient-related and site-related risk factors that may compromise implant therapy
outcomes.
Particular attention will be given to biofilm-related aspects and to modern professional techniques
for its periodic removal, in accordance with current clinical guidelines, on screw-retained and
cement-retained prosthetic crowns as well as full-arch implant-supported prosthetic
structures.
The selection of materials, instruments and non-surgical approaches plays a crucial role both in
primary prevention, aimed at maintaining peri-implant health without damaging prosthetic
restorations or implant components, and in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis and peri-
implantitis.
Special emphasis will be placed on the Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) protocol, which will be
described in detail, with its clinical applications demonstrated through video presentations.
