Dentistry Live: peri-implant maintenance – a GBT approach
This session will follow a practical supportive-care appointment for a patient with an implant-supported restoration.
It will cover assessment of peri-implant tissues and risk factors, patient-specific home-care advice, biofilm disclosure and removal using a GBT approach, and the selection of appropriate instruments where calculus is present.
The session will also consider when clinical findings call for further investigation or active treatment rather than routine maintenance.
Learning objectives
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Structure a peri-implant maintenance assessment, including review of relevant risk factors and evaluation of the peri-implant tissues and restoration
- Apply a GBT-guided workflow for biofilm disclosure and removal around an implant-supported restoration
- Select and demonstrate appropriate home-care advice and maintenance intervals for the individual patient
- Recognise findings that warrant further investigation or management beyond routine supportive care.
