Dental Implant Maintenance

Increased cases of edentulism are leading to the rapid and exponential growth of dental implantology in the world today. The longevity of the implants that you place is critically dependent on the ability of the patient to maintain oral hygiene and report for periodic recall appointments. Failing to adhere to the above is leading to increased cases of peri-implant mucositis and periimplantitis ultimately leading to implant failures. To prevent this scenario it is absolutely essential for the patient and the dentist to focus on implant maintenance as part of their post treatment protocols.
