Abstract
The dental team, which is educated and knowledgeable in the surgical and restorative processes, is an invaluable resource to patients considering implants. As a key member of the dental team, the hygienist must be able to discuss the role of implants with patients where appropriate as an integral part of their oral health. In addition to involvement in all other facets of patient care, the long-term health of peri-implant soft and hard tissues is essential to successful implant therapy. This course will discuss the basics of implant surgery, restoration, and focus on the critical aspect of implant maintenance for long-term success. Current techniques and future implant maintenance protocols will be covered.
