Dental Implants that Go the Distance-Hygiene, Preventative Maintenance and Conservative Treatment Plans

with Dr. Michael Forde

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for the success and longevity of dental implants. Proper hygiene practices help prevent plaque buildup and bacterial infections, which can lead to peri-implant diseases such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. A critical factor in making proper hygiene a simple, predictable part of every patient’s day is how we properly design and contour implant restorations. This presentation will discuss the biological rational for contouring implant restoration in a way to facilitate proper hygiene

·        Understand the etiology and incidence rate of peri-implant mucositis and implantitis

·        Understand how properly planned surgery and properly contoured implant restorations can assist in preventing formation of peri-implant pathology

·        Understand the ideal home care regimen recommended to promote long-term implant health

·        Be able to diagnose peri-implant pathology in its early stage to intervene in the most conservative ways

·        Understand the options available to surgically treat peri-implantitis and mucositis and the likelihood they will effectively treat the disease
