Destructive Disease That is Similar to Periodontal Disease Peri-implantitis is a destructive disease that is quite similar to periodontal disease. It can affect the gums and bone surrounding dental implants and, without prompt treatment, may lead to implant failure. What is Peri-Implantitis? Peri ImplantitisDental implants can’t become decayed like natural teeth as they are made from inert materials. However, patients often overlook that implants are surrounded by living tissue that includes gum tissue and bone. Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition similar to gum disease, where the gum tissue and bone around the implant become infected and inflamed. It can cause the gums around the implant to shrink, and the bone surrounding the implant may begin to break down. Ultimately this condition can lead to the loss of the implant.
