Implant Therapy and the Registered Dental Hygienist
Timothy Hempton, DDS
Implant therapy is, under the appropriate circumstances, a viable and predictable treatment modality. In addition to providing maintenance for previously placed dental implants, the dental hygienist frequently confers with patients who are considering implant therapy as an option to replace missing teeth. This course will review maintenance for implants with healthy peri-implant tissues and implants presenting with peri-implant disease. In addition, to facilitate a better understanding of the overall process of implant dentistry, the basics of surgical placement, bone grafting, prosthetic options, anatomical concerns and systemic factors will also be reviewed. Learning Objectives: • Review the classification of, and techniques and instrumentation for, implant maintenance • Review anatomical concerns, and systemic and local factors which affect the outcomes of implant therapy • Describe the etiology, clinical appearance, management and predictability of the treatment of peri-implantitis
