Dental Implant Basics and Maintenance
Once considered an elective for the privileged few, dental implants are now provided as a routine dental service. Long-term success for these patients is dependent on a collaborative effort with the dentist and dental hygienist, however, there is limited formal education about dental implant maintenance in the current US dental hygiene curriculum. This program will review decision-making factors leading to maintenance protocols for implant cases ranging from a single tooth to full arch screw-retained restorations.
