Contemporary Treatment and Management of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions

Dear Colleagues,

Periodontal and peri-implant diseases are chronic multifactorial inflammatory diseases related to a dysbiotic microbiome that affects the tissues that surround teeth and dental implants. If untreated, the subsequent progressive loss of supporting bone may result in tooth or implant loss. Both diseases amount to a serious public health problem due to their increased prevalence, high dental care costs and negative impact on the patient's quality of life.

The treatment of periodontitis and peri-implantitis employs a variety of surgical techniques and materials. Autologous bone and soft tissue grafts are routinely employed in regenerative and reconstructive procedures. Innovative therapeutic approaches that integrate information on individual patient backgrounds (genetics, biomarkers, environment, lifestyle) coupled with advanced biomaterials and microsurgical techniques can enhance treatment outcomes. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to provide up-to-date, contemporary and concise evidence-based data on prevention, diagnosis, and the current therapeutic approaches of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions in line with the personalized medicine concept.
