20 – 40% experience peri-implantitis – 20-40% of these implants patients will experience peri-implantitis 5-10 years after the implants have been installed
Complex – Established peri-implantitis is very complex and involving to treat
Costly and difficult – Loss of implants is a dramatic situation for both the patient and the dentist. It is very costly and often difficult, sometimes hopeless, to replace lost implants

Labrida BioClean® is developed by a well renowned periodontist

About the importance of maintenance and the story behind the brush

Dr. Caspar Wohlfahrt is a periodontist and completed his specialist training at the University of Minnesota in 2004. He soon realized the importance of maintaining dental implants to avoid the development of peri-implantitis (i.e. inflammation with possible bone loss around the implants).

Back in Oslo, Dr. Wohlfahrt established his private specialist clinic, and continued his research on treatment of peri-implantitis at the University of Oslo. With a focus on maintenance treatment, Wohlfahrt’s dental hygienists soon requested a suitable instrument for this purpose. They found that conventional instruments for treatment of teeth were unsuitable for cleaning implants.

This led to the development of a brush for use by dentists and dental hygienists, adapted for cleaning implants, Labrida BioClean^®. Since then, the brush has proven to be efficient in the maintenance of teeth with periodontal disease, as well.
