Implant Maintenance – Fundamental for Preventing Per...

Dental implants have revolutionized dentistry, but, as is well-known, this is not without complications. On a yearly basis, approximately 12 million implants are placed globally, meaning that there is a large population of patients at risk of developing peri-implant disease.

Likewise, which is the best protocol for implant therapy? Michelle Strange, RDH, MSDH, explains how she sorts through the enormous amounts of information. 

By B.
