Dental implants require ongoing maintenance to ensure long-term stability and health. This course will focus on evidence-based approaches to implant maintenance, including biofilm management, instrumentation techniques, and early detection of peri-implant disease. Attendees will explore clinical strategies for accessing and debriding implant surfaces, managing challenging anatomy, and improving patient outcomes through minimally invasive care. Emphasis will also be placed on the role of enhanced visualization using dental endoscopes to improve diagnostic accuracy and support more precise, effective treatment.
By attending this webinar you will learn how to:
- Identify clinical and radiographic criteria used to differentiate peri-implant health, mucositis, and peri-implantitis.
- Compare instrumentation techniques and approaches for effective biofilm and calculus removal on implant surfaces.
- Demonstrate appropriate adaptation and angulation for accessing implants in complex areas such as deep pockets and thread designs.
- Analyze the role of enhanced visualization using dental endoscopes in improving detection of subgingival biofilm and calculus during implant maintenance.
