A Survey Exploring the Experiences & Attitudes of Dental Implant Clinicians in the Management of Peri-implantitis within the United Kingdom

Peri-implantitis remains one of the most challenging complications that could threaten the long-term survival of implants. The aim of this survey is to explore the experiences, attitudes and challenges that face clinicians in the management of peri-implantitis. A validated online questionnaire was emailed to implant clinicians in the United Kingdom. 72 clinicians responded to the questionnaire, all of whom face many challenges during the treatment of peri-implantitis, with 79% finding difficulties due to lack of treatment consensus and 78% finding treatment outcomes unpredictable. This survey highlights the markeddifferences in opinion and attitudes of clinicians in the management of peri-implantitis.
