Dental implants have a higher failure rate in diseased mouths. Preventive dental hygienists play a crucial role in identifying and managing dental implant patients. This course discusses all aspects of dental implant care, from patient selection to treatment and maintenance to help you provide the best possible care for your patients. We will review the AAP standards for diagnosing periimplant disease and therapeutic modalities as well as advanced periodontal procedures and futuristic trends in dental implant therapeutics.

Note: It is recommended you take "Periodontal Classifications Overview and The Stable Periodontium" prior to taking this course.
