This clinical session focuses on the diagnosis, early detection, and evidence-based management of gingivitis and peri-implant mucositis—two of the most common and preventable soft tissue conditions in dental care. Designed for dental professionals, the course provides practical strategies for prevention, maintenance, and early intervention.

Through a review of current research, case-based discussion, and clinical application, participants will strengthen their ability to identify early signs of inflammation around teeth and implants and apply protocols that support long-term tissue health and improved patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Recognize key clinical indicators of gingivitis and peri-implant mucositis using evidence-based diagnostic criteria

• Evaluate modifiable and systemic risk factors and apply risk-based decision-making for early intervention

• Implement personalized home-care and maintenance protocols for patients with gingivitis and dental implants
