We must rethink our current paradigm, consider the partnership between dentists and dental hygienists, and provide our team members with a comprehensive armamentarium to prevent fighting the peri-implantitis war. It is time for dental teams to understand the vital role that maintenance plays in the long-term success of implant dentistry. This course is designed for the dentist and dental hygienist, helping them to establish a partnership in the battle against peri-implantitis by demonstrating a predictable and comprehensive implant maintenance protocol.
