If the implantsurfaceaswellasthebonyimplantsitecan be decontaminated, one can rely on the high re- generative quality of the alveolar bone. Additional application of xenogeneic augmentation materials suggests a significant improvement of the therapy success,asbothguidancefortheyet-to-beformed bone and primary mechanical stability of the im- plant are achieved immediately after insertion of the material. Users of GBR techniques already know that this biological process demands space as well as stabil- ity and the longest possible regenerative period. Therefore, exposition to masticatory forces should be avoided during the four- to six-weeks healing period. For this reason, removing the complete supra structure of several implants and letting the wound heal after coverage is the safer method in general. _Summary Today, the success rate of implant therapy is generally regarded to be high. However, infectious complications such as mucositis or periimplantitis arefrequentlydocumentedandseenasusualcom- plications in implants which have been in situ for fivetotenyears.Periimplantmucositisandperiim- plantitis have infectious origins. When not treated, theywillleadtoimplantlosssoonerorlater.Assoon as the inflammation has reached the periimplant bone, the implant surfaced should be cleansed and decontaminated by applying an Er:YAG laser in ad- ditiontoanablativetreatmentoftheinfectedbone. The combined treatment of GBR procedures im- proves the clinical situation and favours biological regeneration._ Jiaoshou (Prof.) Dr Frank Liebaug Scientific Director of Ellen-Institute, German Institute for Dental Research and Education Professor University Shandong,China Arzbergstr.30,98587 Steinbach-Hallenberg Germany Tel.:+49 36847 31788 www.zahnarzt-liebaug.de www.ellen-institute.com _contact laser www.DTStudyClub.com ADA CERP is a service of the American Dental Association to assist dental professionals in identifying quality providersof continuing dental education.
