Dental implants, like our natural teeth, have a life span and can suffer from various dental and periodontal diseases if they are not properly maintained. The success or failure of any dental implant restoration is closely related to the patient’s awareness and cooperation. Each patient should take care of the dental implant as if it were a natural tooth, in order to prolong its life. First of all, a good cleaning of the dental implant and the whole mouth is the key to maintain the health of the dental implant. After wearing the dental implant, it is important to use the appropriate tools to clean the dental implant and brush it carefully and gently as if it were a real tooth. You can use a toothbrush with soft, smooth, rounded bristles and a fluoride toothpaste with a finer particle size and less friction; you can also use dental floss and a nylon central gap brush to clean the gaps and implants. It is recommended to develop the habit of regular dental cleaning, preferably once every six months or so. Second, you should also establish proper chewing habits. The combination of dental implants and the surrounding bone tissue requires a physiological adaptation process. Within one year after wearing the dental implants, it is necessary to transition from soft to hard foods and gradually bear the weight. It is recommended that all dental implant patients be reviewed 1-2 times a year. Dental implants, like natural teeth, are made up of several parts, but the parts of natural teeth are organically bonded together, whereas dental implants are generally connected by screws or adhesives, etc. The connections can become loose due to the loosening or aging of the adhesives. Dental implant wearers should be aware of any signs of loosening of the parts of the dental implant, so that they can be detected and reviewed early. Regular review is not only to monitor the state of the hard and soft tissues around the implant, but also to help detect early lesions in the remaining natural teeth and other parts of the mouth. In addition, other systemic diseases can also lead to a decrease in the local immunity of the oral cavity, which can be detrimental to both the dental implants and the natural teeth. Therefore, active prevention and treatment of systemic diseases is also necessary for the maintenance of dental implants. If any abnormalities are found during the use of the implant, such as inadvertent impact of the implant, loosening of the implant, redness and pain of the gums, bleeding from brushing, etc., it is necessary to consult the doctor in time. In conclusion, implant maintenance is an important part of the implant restoration process and should accompany the dental implant for the rest of its life. Dental implant maintenance requires timely blocking of undesirable factors affecting the long-term success of the implant, early detection of minor lesions around the implant, prevention, early detection and early treatment to ensure the long-term success of the implant.
