In this episode of the All In All-On-X The Pod, Dr. Adam Hogan sits down with Dr. George Kotsakis for a deep clinical conversation on peri-implantitis, implant surface decontamination, full-arch dentistry, and the future of implant education. Dr. Kotsakis shares insight into the global impact of peri-implantitis, including prevention strategies, treatment challenges, and the importance of protecting implant surface integrity during decontamination. This episode explores the science behind biofilm removal, titanium particle release, oral microbiome factors, systemic health considerations, and emerging technologies such as water jet systems, nylon brushes, lasers, PRF, and regenerative approaches. The conversation also dives into the differences between dental education and clinical culture in Greece, Europe, and the United States — along with the need for stronger training, better standards, and more evidence-based treatment planning in implant dentistry. If you’re a clinician performing implants, treating complications, or looking to better understand peri-implant disease management, this episode is packed with practical and research-driven insight. * * * 🤝🔥 Podcast Sponsors & Partners 🧠💻 J&B Dental Lab – Digital Full-Arch Expertise https://www.jbdentallab.com/ 🌿✨ StellaLife – Post-Op Recovery Support https://stellalife.com/ * * * 🔗✨ Connect With Us 🎙️ Podcast Instagram https://www.instagram.com/allinallonxpod/ 🏛 Atlantic Implant Institute https://www.instagram.com/theatlanticimplantinstitute/?hl=en 🦷💼 The Full Implant Experience – 3-Day In-Office Mentorship https://theatlanticimplantinstitute.com/full-arch-digital-workflow-courses/the-full-implant-experience/ 📩 Interested in sponsoring an episode or joining us as a guest?

I've never done a podcast in

0:01

0:02

Greece doesn't have podcasts?

George KotsakisGuest

0:03

I bet they do.

George KotsakisGuest

0:04

I just haven't done one.

George KotsakisGuest

0:05

How

0:05

long has it been since you lived

George KotsakisGuest

0:06

there? I've been in the U.S.

George KotsakisGuest

0:08

since 2012.

George KotsakisGuest

0:11

A couple of years? 14 years.

George KotsakisGuest

0:12

Yeah, 14 years.

George KotsakisGuest

0:13

Yeah.

George KotsakisGuest

0:13

But I tend to go back at least a couple of times a year.

0:17

Does USA have any culture at all compared to Greece? Amazing culture.

George KotsakisGuest

0:22

Yeah.

George KotsakisGuest

0:23

Yeah.

George KotsakisGuest

0:23

Amazing culture of getting things done.

George KotsakisGuest

0:25

Is that right? Yeah.

George KotsakisGuest

0:26

I love that.

George KotsakisGuest

0:27

I love that.

0:27

Oh, so just the busy society.

0:29

Just produce, produce, produce.

George KotsakisGuest

0:32

Yeah, not only that, but process is respected.

George KotsakisGuest

0:36

You know, you go to Southern Europe and the weather's beautiful, food's amazing, people are heart-connected, and sometimes process is like secondary to flow.

0:46

Yeah.

George KotsakisGuest

0:47

Yeah, here we have a process and we kind of stick to it, which is also beautiful.

0:51

Yeah, that sounds so poetic.

0:53

I've been to the Mediterranean coast in a few countries, at least several countries, and I miss that.

1:01

I like that.

1:02

Just there is no hurry, right? Yeah.

1:04

Just we'll get it done eventually.

1:07

But right now there's the beach.

1:08

Right now there's this beautiful weather, right? Exactly.

George KotsakisGuest

1:11

Exactly.

George KotsakisGuest

1:12

I think the secret sauce is to kind of strike a balance and get things done.

George KotsakisGuest

1:16

Yeah.

George KotsakisGuest

1:18

And I think it's very different when you have to do creative things like poetry, you mentioned, right? Or create art versus when you want to help people with their moral health and their function.
