Best treatment?
Single implant with peri-implantitis.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Debridement + LOCAL antibiotics
Localized peri-implantitis → mechanical debridement plus local antimicrobials (surgery if non-surgical fails).
- A. Mechanical debridement alone is often insufficient for established peri-implantitis.
- B. Systemic antibiotics are less targeted; local delivery is preferred for a localized lesion.
- C. Correct. Non-surgical management of peri-implantitis pairs mechanical debridement with locally delivered antimicrobials.
