The advent of dental implants to replace hopeless or missing teeth has been financial boon for dental offices. Most specialty offices and over 55% of general dental of offices are placing and restoring dental implants. Unfortunately proportional to the increase in dental implants being placed will be the percentage of peri-implant complications that need to be corrected. A recent review stated that over 30% of all litigation cases involving implants is af liated with the failure to diagnose, treat, and/or refer cases of peri-implantitis. This presentation will review the prevention and treatment of peri-implant problems. Finally insurance coding, practice management techniques, and financial solutions will be discussed to help office personnel make implant complication treatment possible.
