Dental implants have transformed restorative dentistry, but placing an implant is only the beginning. The real challenge—and the key to long-term success—is proper maintenance. Yet many clinicians are still relying on protocols they learned years ago, despite growing evidence that some traditional techniques, instruments, and even preventive products may do more harm than good. So what should today's implant maintenance protocol actually look like? Joining us is dental hygienist Lynn Pencek, who brings a unique combination of clinical experience and industry expertise. Lynn is passionate about helping hygienists and dentists cut through the confusion surrounding implant maintenance with practical, evidence-based guidance. In this episode, we'll explore why implant maintenance remains such a misunderstood topic, uncover the truth behind metallosis and tribo-corrosion, discuss how instrument and polishing choices can impact implant surfaces, examine the surprising relationship between fluoride and titanium implants, and reveal the modern protocols every practice should be implementing to help ensure long-term implant success.
