Reducing Failures: Maintenance as the Cornerstone of Implant Therapy 1–4p, Friday 5/19 LOCATION: 215/SAN MIGUEL-235/MESILLA TYPE: LECTURE CEU: 3 COURSE DESCRIPTION In today’s dentistry, we are giving patients a viable option for tooth replacement, but we must remember treatment of dental implants does not end after the surgical or restorative phases. Creating a maintenance program that is tailored to the patient and their dental implant is key.

Understanding the latest research and products that will help create long-term success for your patient’s dental implant(s) is imperative. OBJECTIVES • Define peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis and the differentiating clinical factors. • Explain the steps of assessing dental implants after placement and during maintenance visits. • Determine the frequency of implant maintenance. • Discuss the importance of patient education on the long-term health of dental implants. • Discuss new protocols for in office implant maintenance. • Determine the correct products for at-home maintenance with a patientcentered focus.
