PERIODONTAL DISEASE/PERI-IMPLANT DISEASE MODEL [PE-PER015]

Features

• Shows the effects of periodontal disease/peri-implant disease allowing various ways to compare and explain with just one model
• Anatomical teeth with realistic crown and root
• Fully removable gingiva
• Lower right quadrant shows a healthy condition
  • #46 tooth with implant and crown (not removable)
• Lower left quadrant depicts a diseased condition with various lesions
  • Reddening and swollen gingiva on the diseased lower left quadrant
  • Bone resorption seen throughout the diseased quadrant including the #36 implant
  • Mobile teeth (#32~#35 and #37)
  • Removable # 36 implant and crown

Purpose:

• To explain the resulting condition as well as the reasons and effects caused by periodontal disease/peri-implant disease, and help patients understand the risks associated
• Help raise patient awareness on the importance of care and maintenance of post implant treatment
• Useful in explaining:
  • Difference in nature of bone resorption between periodontal disease and peri-implant disease
  • Difference between healthy and diseased gingiva
  • Risk of implant failure (overload) due to progressive peri-implantitis
