Dr Simon Stern, a Consultant Periodontist and Founder of The Perio Centre, will be speaking at an upcoming dental education event in Central London, exploring one of the growing challenges in modern implant dentistry.
The lecture, titled “The Titanium Paradox: An Evidence-Based Masterclass in Managing Peri-Implantitis”, is being hosted by the Alpha Omega Dental Society UK on Wednesday 18th November 2026.
Peri-implantitis is an increasingly important subject for dental professionals, with around 1 in 5 dental implant patients affected within 10 years. It is important to spot the signs early and know how best to treat the problem to give dental implants the best chance of lasting well.
What Will The Lecture Cover?
During the lecture, Dr Stern will explore how current European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) recommendations and 2024 AO/AAP guidance can be put into practice. The session will cover several important areas, including:
- Early diagnosis
- Risk assessment
- Treatment planning
- Decision-making around non-surgical treatment, surgery or specialist referral
The aim is to help dental professionals feel more confident when approaching peri-implantitis and making informed decisions that support the long term success of dental implants.
The masterclass will also look at the differences between periodontal and peri-implant tissues, how to distinguish between peri-implant health, mucositis and peri-implantitis, and the factors that can increase the risk of problems developing around implants. Dr Stern will discuss treatment protocols, the role of restorative design and how to set realistic expectations with patients about treatment outcomes and ongoing implant maintenance.
