Detecting the Onset of Peri-implant Disease Early to Quickly Take Proper Steps to Stop It’s Progression 

Dr. Paul Fletcher DDS is a periodontist who has been a member of Synergistic Dentistry of New York, a group implant, cosmetic specialty practice for more than 40 years. He has been on the periodontal faculties of New York University and Columbia University and is currently an Associate Clinical Professor at Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine where he teaches periodontics and implant dentistry on a post-graduate level.  Dr. Fletcher has had more than 30 papers published in dental literature and has lectured extensively on periodontal prosthetics, implant dentistry, and peri-implant disease both nationally and internationally. His current teaching interest lies in educating the worldwide dental community on the management of peri-implant disease. 

Dr. Fletcher’s discussion is especially relevant as the number of implants placed worldwide is increasing and the years implants have been in place in patients is growing so the incidence and prevalence of inflammatory peri-implant disease is also on the rise.  Dr. Fletcher will focus on: 

  • The etiology, microbiology, and histopathology of peri-implant disease and its progression from mucositis to peri-implantitis 
  • Instruments and chemotherapeutic agents best suited to debride, detoxify, and decontaminate an affected implant
  • The indications for non-surgical therapy and the specific implant surgical techniques that can be utilized to optimize treatment results
  • Establishing an in-office protocol for early recognition and treatment and providing the patient with an in-home program
