Beyond Maintenance — Elevating Implant and Hybrid Care Most implants fail for the same reason natural teeth do: pathogenic bacteria. Explore how to confirm a site is truly healthy before placement, support the microbiome after, and sustain long-term success.
Full Course Description:
The majority of implant failures happen for the same reason natural teeth fail—periodontal pathogens. Yet many implants are placed into sites that look healthy but remain microbiologically unstable. This course reframes implant success through a biologic and microbial lens, focusing on how to confirm site health before placement and how to sustain it long-term. Participants will learn how to assess biological readiness, identify microbial imbalance, and use modern technologies to detect risk before breakdown occurs. Whether managing implants or hybrid prosthetics, you’ll gain clarity on what true maintenance looks like in a microbial world—and how to preserve stability for the life of the restoration.(June 12, 2026) 4-CEs
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Explain how the oral microbiome influences implant integration and long-term stability.
Evaluate implant site readiness using biological and microbial indicators rather than visual assessment alone.
Identify the presence and risk factors of periodontal pathogens associated with implant and hybrid failure.
Incorporate current technologies to detect microbial imbalance and guide individualized maintenance strategies.
Redefine implant maintenance through a preventive, biofilm-centered approach that preserves long-term health and function.
*Each course builds on the others—but every session stands strong on its own.
