Thus, once peri-implantitis is diagnosed, it is recommended to follow a strict treatment concept, including: 1) reduction of local and systemic risk factors, 2) fast initiation of non-surgical treatment, 3) early evaluation of non-surgical treatment and, 4) if unsuccessful, fast transition to the surgical treatment phase, provided that the patient is compliant, 5) treatment should always be followed by stringent supportive peri-implant care with an individualized interval, and 6) if needed, correction of peri-implant soft tissue deficiencies should be considered. In the current article, this concept is presented along with several clinical examples, including an overview of current scientific knowledge.","references":"
