The American Academy of Implant Dentistry estimates about 3 million dental patients in the United States have dental implants with a projected 500,000 implants being placed each year.
This comprehensive program looks between the threads to better understand the imperative role of the dental hygienist in identifying potential dental implant candidates, evaluating systemic conditions affecting dental implant success, assessing stable and diseased peri-implant sites, diagnosing Stage IV and peri-implant diseased cases, maintaining single, multiple or all-on-four/all-on-six patient cases, and actively treating peri-implant diseased patients.
Let's establish and maintain a stable foundation of dental implant protocols while threading through the research and uncovering new trends and techniques aimed to elevate comprehensive standards in the provision of dental implant care… together.
