Maintenance of Dental Implants
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Education - Year 2019, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
The placement of implant necessitates a team approach of dental implant experts for the planning, execution and maintenance of the implants to ensure the best possible outcome. Once the implant have been placed in the edentulous region, maintenance therapy and assessment of implant status and radiographs are necessary to insure the long life of these restorations, and this necessitates the team of dental implant specialists to have thorough knowledge of implant maintenance procedures as well, as an implant malfunction. The divergences in the supporting structure of the implant make them more susceptible to inflammation and bone loss when plaque accumulates as compared to the teeth. Therefore, a comprehensive maintenance protocol should be followed to ensure the longevity of the dental implant.
