Abstract

Implant treatment has become a proven and very predictable treatment option. However, complications associated with implant treatment are not rare and unfortunately even with the most experienced and well-trained clinician cannot be completely prevented. Regular review and maintenance of patients with implant supported prosthesis is essential to maintain health, prevent complications, and to measure one’s own long-term success with the treatment provided. It is important that dentists recognize the importance of maintenance and patients are educated about the need for long-term care of their implant prosthesis. Importance of oral hygiene in implant patients, schedule for maintenance of implant patients, abutment connection, and importance of cessation of tobacco habits are also discussed in this chapter.
