AGD Subject Code: 690  

We are 40 years since Professor Branemark introduced his research on osseointegration to the dental community. Dental Implants provide our patients with successful long-term restorative solutions for function, comfort, and aesthetics. Today, Dental Hygienists are seeing more patients with dental implants. Implant manufacturers have introduced new implant designs, surfaces, and surface chemistry that affect biocompatibility and maintenance protocols. There are concerns about what materials we use to reduce peri-implant inflammation, may negatively affect the implant surface's biocompatibility and the implant’s long-term success. This CE webinar will review dental implant component materials and design and the biological compatibility of commonly used instruments, technology, and therapeutic materials.

During this CE webinar, we will
• Review the history of dental implant components and surface chemistry
• Review of maintenance protocols for prevention of peri-implantitis
• Review biologically safe instrument materials to use on dental implants
• Identify home care products and techniques safe for implant maintenance   ( disclaimer , AGD PACE Statement )
