The Clinical Challenge

Peri-implantitis

70 million implant patients – Globally there are around 100 million dental implants in 70 million patients
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

Periodontitis

40% of the grown up population – World wide, about 40% of the grown up population suffers from periodontitis
The 6th most common disease in the world (WHO) – Periodontitis represents a public health concern
Tooth loss – May lead to tooth loss and oral debilitation
Prevention through maintenance – Regular maintenance is key to hinder progression of periodontal disease

The Labrida BioClean® solution

For patients

Regular maintenance treatment 2-4 times/year
Reduced inflammation – documented in clinical studies
Extended lifespan of the implant and the affected tooth
Gentle treatment of implants, teeth and surrounding tissue
Less pain and complication

For Clinicians

Good clinical efficacy documented in clinical studies
Safe and easy to use
A gentle treatment that provides increased patient co-operation and more patients continuing in the recall system

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.
