<p>Implant Maintenance Procedures<br>Commander William E. Dando, DC, USN and Captain Robert M. Taft, DC, USN<br><br>Implant therapy is a treatment that has rapidly become both state of the art and a standard of care. There is, therefore, an increased need for proper professional maintenance of these implants. As a part of the annual dental examination it is essential to assess the condition of implant fixtures and restorations, and to provide the appropriate maintenance.<br><br>There are a variety of different types of implant restorations. These include single or multiple tooth, removable or fixed, and cemented or screw retained. While procedures may differ slightly based upon the type of restoration, several basic principles can be applied regardless of the type of restoration.
