Synopsis
The number of implants suffering from peri-implant disease is increasing. Dental professionals frequently have questions concerning the etiology and treatment of these problems. During this presentation, we will cover new data on these topics, including the role of foreign bodies including cement and titanium found in soft tissues surrounding implants affected by these diseases. We will also discuss the effect of early and late colonizing bacteria on the implant surfaces and their role in the production of these foreign bodies. Additionally, learn about the new therapeutic modalities, which includes the appropriate methods for removing biofilm from infected implant surfaces and how these approaches may or may not result in new attachments to implant surfaces previously covered with biofilm.
Objectives
At the completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Assess new concepts in treating peri-implant diseases
- Determine the role of cement in these processes and how to ameliorate the problem
- Identify the possible role of titanium particles in the etiology of these diseases.

The Visiting Professorship in Periodontics was created in July 2008 by the late Claude L. Nabers, DDS, MSD, and his wife, Blanche Eaton Nabers, of San Antonio. Dr. Nabers (UTSD Class of 1946) expressed that his intention was for the “Nabers Lecture” to be available for students, faculty, and private practitioners alike. This lectureship continues to convey Dr. Nabers' life-long commitment to quality continuing education. Dr. Nabers expressed this passion through lecturing in 26 states and 14 foreign countries, as well as conducting postdoctoral studies in 15 separate dental schools and regional associations. Dr. Nabers was named the UTSD Outstanding Alumnus in 1980 and has been included in six different 'Who's Who' publications, relating to America, medicine, healthcare, and in the world.
The 2021 lecture honors Dr. Nabers and his love for the dental profession.
