  • Title: Oral hygiene for dental implant patients.
    Author: Friedman LA.
    Journal: Tex Dent J; 1991 May; 108(5):21-3, 29. PubMed ID: 1866703.
    Abstract:
    Effective home care cleaning techniques are described for patients with dental implants. Specific methods are described for the fixed prosthesis, the fixed detachable prosthesis and the removable prosthesis. While dental caries is no longer a problem, peri-implant gingivitis and peri-implant osteitis are concerns for patients who have dental implants. Techniques and the tools available enable dental implant patients to keep their dental implants plaque-free and consequently, free of peri-implant infection. This report will discuss home care for the fixed detachable prosthesis, the removable prosthesis, and the fixed prosthesis.
