Poor personal and professional oral hygiene measures are clearly documented in the literature as risk factors for peri-implantitis. This concern has gained global attention and over the last decade an emphasis has been placed on oral hygiene and the importance of adequate and effective implant maintenance regimens. Patients should be comprehensively instructed on how to disrupt biofilm in all aspects of the restoration and peri-implant sulcus. This means that at home maintenance recommendations cannot be focused primarily on conventional methods like dental floss.

Topics include:
• Discuss the 5 steps of evidence-based decision making
• Identify homecare practices based on evidence, individuality, and practicality
• Investigate the role of restorative design in hygiene and cleansability
• Understand the role of the dental hygienist in the dental implant workflow
