Implant Maintenance Curriculum Among U.S. Dental Hygiene Programs by Sarah Jane Youssef PDF Summary

Book Description: Purpose: There is a range of clinical practices that dental professionals use to maintain implants, revealing a need for a more standardized approach. The purpose of this study was to determine the curricular content for dental hygiene programs in the U.S. regarding implant maintenance. This research aimed to find out if that curricular content aligned with the CPG published by the ACP. Methods: This descriptive research study utilized a survey to explore the implant maintenance curriculum in U.S. dental hygiene programs. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the data. Results: A total of 53 participants responded to the survey (n=53). 100% of programs felt that implant maintenance was important to include in the curriculum and 98.1% teach implant maintenance. This study helped identify the curricular content for implant maintenance: 94.3% teach preventative care techniques, 90.6% teach appropriate tools/materials, 92.5% teach patient education, 88.7% teach radiographic interpretation, and 83.0% teach recall frequency. This research has helped recognize where the curricular content aligns with the current CPG published by the ACP and that most programs are not utilizing the CPG as a resource for curricular development. Conclusion: Dental hygiene programs are teaching dental implant maintenance but there is variety among the content and the resources used to develop that content. If more programs were to standardize their content, there could be less variety in treatment modalities in clinical settings for implant maintenance.
