Dentistry Live: non-surgical treatment of peri-implant disease
Tune in to witness one of the UK’s leading dental experts, Karen Walker, provide a step-by-step guide to treating this new disease.
With the rise of dental implant placements as a valid treatment modality for missing teeth, we are also seeing the rise of a new disease – peri-implant disease.
Many clinicians feel apprehensive when it comes to treating peri-implant diseases, and currently there are limited evidence-based treatment procedures.
However, with the British Society of Periodontology’s implementation of the EFP S3 Guidelines in 2023, clinicians can no longer ignore the maintenance and treatment of dental implants.
Since 2009, Karen has developed and implemented maintenance and treatment protocols for all patients going through their implant journey. This session will show you how these protocols are used in the non-surgical treatment of peri-implant disease.

Karen Walker
After qualifying as a hygienist in Edinburgh in 1994, Karen moved to Nottingham, where she worked in various NHS and private dental practices. Since 2009, Karen has worked in the specialist practice, The Campbell Clinic, in Nottingham.
She is a dedicated hygienist keen to equip her patients with the knowledge she has gained to improve their smiles and, ultimately, their general health and wellbeing.
Karen has a special interest in implant surgery and maintenance. As maintenance is pivotal to the success of dental implants, Karen has developed and implemented maintenance and treatment protocols within the practice to ensure all implant patients are continually cared for to an exceptionally high standard.
Karen’s dedication to the maintenance and treatment of dental implants led her peers to elect her to the Committee for the Association of Dental Implantology (ADI), a UK-based organisation supporting dentists and patients, from 2014 to 2016.
