CE Hours
As the number of patients with dental implants continues to grow, dental hygienists play a critical role in protecting implant health and preventing peri-implant disease. This course is designed to refresh and strengthen your knowledge of evidence-based implant maintenance protocols and clinical techniques.
We will explore advanced technologies that improve clinical efficiency, patient comfort, and ergonomics using clinical cases. The course will also cover risk-based maintenance recall intervals and implant maintenance coding considerations. By integrating these evidence-based strategies and technologies, attendees will move beyond a routine approach to implant care and develop more effective, personalized maintenance protocols that support long-term implant success.
Join us to learn modern, evidence-based strategies that elevate implant maintenance care, improve patient compliance, and protect implant health for years to come.
