Supportive implant treatment is a critical component in ensuring the long-term success of dental implants. While implant placement and prosthetic rehabilitation are important phases of therapy, continuous maintenance and monitoring are essential for preserving peri-implant tissue health and preventing biological complications.This work provides an overview of the principles and clinical approaches involved in supportive implant care. It discusses diagnostic methods, clinical examination, radiographic assessment, microbial considerations, implant stability evaluation, and maintenance protocols. Special emphasis is given to the prevention, early detection, and management of peri-implant diseases such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.By understanding the biological and clinical aspects of implant maintenance, clinicians can implement effective preventive strategies and improve long-term treatment outcomes for patients receiving implant therapy.
