Support Long-Term Success

By Jonathan H. Do, DDS

As the number of patients with dental implants increases and dental implant therapy assumes a greater role in the dental practice, clinical investigations have focused on the prevention and management of peri-implant diseases. Clinicians and patients can work together during maintenance appointments to implement evidence-based prevention strategies, one of which is the adjunctive use of chemical antiplaque agents such as a sustained antibacterial toothpaste containing triclosan/copolymer. The early detection and management of peri-implant disease risk factors are key to the long-term success of implant therapy. The Colgate-Palmolive Company is delighted to have provided an unrestricted educational grant to support the article “Support Long-Term Success” in collaboration with the American Academy of Periodontology
