Peri-Implantitis: Treatment Strategy and Surgical Protocols. Hands-on Workshop by Alberto Monje

The course focuses on a systematic approach to peri-implantitis treatment: from initial infection control and the selection of non-surgical treatment modalities to surgical therapy and supportive care. Participants will explore how clinical presentation, peri-implant defect morphology, implant position, and prosthetic factors influence treatment selection.

After completing the course, you will be able to:

— Develop a stepwise treatment strategy for peri-implantitis, from infection control to surgical therapy and supportive care

— Select non-surgical and surgical treatment modalities based on the clinical presentation, defect morphology, and implant position

— Understand implant-surface decontamination protocols and the indications for different treatment approaches

— Differentiate the indications for resective, regenerative, and combined surgical therapy

— Integrate hard- and soft-tissue management, prosthetic considerations, and maintenance protocols to improve treatment stability.

During the hands-on session, participants will practise the key stages of surgical peri-implantitis treatment, from planning surgical access and implant-surface decontamination to resective, regenerative, and combined surgical therapy.

Particular emphasis will be placed on peri-implant defect management, osseous recontouring, the use of regenerative biomaterials, flap adaptation, and suturing techniques aimed at achieving stable wound closure and predictable healing.

Course lecturer — Alberto Monje, a leading European expert in peri-implantitis treatment. An internationally recognized specialist in periodontology and implant dentistry, he is the author of numerous scientific publications on peri-implantitis.

Program

Day 1 (July 2)

Theory

— Stepwise treatment strategy for peri-implantitis — from initial infection control to surgical therapy and supportive care

— Selection of non-surgical and surgical treatment modalities based on clinical presentation, defect morphology, implant position, and prosthetic factors

— Comparison of implant-surface decontamination protocols and evaluation of the indications and limitations of mechanical, chemical, and adjunctive approaches

— Indications for resective, regenerative, and combined surgical therapy, with selection of the most appropriate approach according to peri-implant defect configuration

— Integration of hard- and soft-tissue management, prosthetic considerations, and maintenance protocols to improve treatment stability and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Day 2 (July 3)

Hands-On Workshop

— Planning and performing surgical access for peri-implantitis therapy, including appropriate incision and flap design

— Implant-surface decontamination using different mechanical and adjunctive protocols

— Resective peri-implantitis therapy: defect debridement, osseous recontouring, and implantoplasty where indicated

— Regenerative peri-implantitis therapy: defect preparation, graft placement, and appropriate use of regenerative biomaterials

— Combined resective and regenerative approaches according to the anatomy and morphology of the peri-implant defect

— Flap adaptation, soft-tissue management, and suturing techniques to achieve stable wound closure and predictable healing.
