Course Description:

Poor personal and professional oral hygiene measures are documented in the literature as risk factors for peri-implantitis. This concern has gained global attention, and over the last decade, an emphasis has been placed on oral hygiene and the importance of adequate and effective implant maintenance regimens. Patients need comprehensive education on disrupting biofilm in all aspects of the restoration and peri-implant sulcus. At-home maintenance recommendations cannot be focused primarily on conventional methods like dental floss and instead require practical techniques that patients can efficiently perform. Learn More.

Educational Objectives:

• Identify homecare practices based on evidence, individuality, and practicality. 

• Investigate the role of restorative design in cleanability. 

• Evaluate the dental hygienist's role in the dental implant workflow and care process.
