A Review on Recommendations for the Maintenance of Implant Supported Restorations

Implant placement necessitates an interdisciplinary approach in which a team of dental implant specialists, including an oral surgeon, prosthodontist, periodontist, and oral radiologist, collaborate on the design, execution, and maintenance of the implants to provide the best possible result. According to the data, the vast majority of the participating dentists provide implant-supported restorations to their patients on a regular basis. Surprisingly, the percentage of dentists who plan implant placement and employ backward planning methods was significantly lower. This finding implies that dentists do not always follow the current scientific consensus that the placement of an implant should be based on prosthetic principles.
