Clinical Guidelines for the Management of Peri-Implant Health
Authors(s): Anita Daniels, RDH††, Carl Drago, DDS, MS†† & Ronnie J. Goené, DMD†
Long-term success and patient satisfaction with dental implant restorations depend on proper maintenance and daily follow-up care by the patient, as well as professional care at intervals to be determined clinically.
- Otherwise, biofilm formation may result in peri-implant mucositis, which is etiologically similar to gingivitis in the natural dentition and is reversible with appropriate care.
