Discuss maintenance of the dental implant
What will be an ideal response?
The most important aspect of implant maintenance in preventing peri-implant disease is controlling bacterial plaque. During the first year of implant placement, radiographs should be taken at three-month intervals during maintenance visits. Probing should not be done around a healthy implant. Scaling should be done using the appropriate instruments: plastic, nylon, or graphite. Calculus is not firmly attached to nonporous titanium surfaces, so deposits of calculus are very light. Implant mobility is a good sign that the implant is failing or failed. Mobility should be evaluated at every maintenance visit.
