Abstract:
:Objectives To describe the approach taken by dental hygienists and therapists (DH/Ts) in Wales regarding dental implant maintenance. To gather their opinions about the current level of implant education.Materials and methods Online questionnaires were distributed to 257 DH/Ts within Wales.Results The response rate was 35%. Dental implant care was within the remit of service for 92% of respondents. All respondents that provided implant care stated that they performed oral hygiene instruction, while 98% performed supragingival debridement, 85% subgingival debridement, and 64% clinical assessment of peri-implant health. A high proportion of DH/Ts in Wales did not feel entirely confident in carrying out procedures relating to peri-implant maintenance and only 27% felt confident in clinically assessing dental implants. The majority (83%) felt that postgraduate training in peri-implant maintenance should be obligatory. 'No available courses' was the main reason for not attending further postgraduate training in implantology.Conclusions A high proportion of responding DH/Ts practising in Wales do not feel entirely confident in carrying out procedures relating to peri-implant maintenance. Postgraduate training may be useful in addressing this issue and undergraduate training programmes may need to consider increasing trainees' exposure to dental implant maintenance.
