Cross-infection control is very important in dental implant surgical procedures – not only to prevent the transmission of harmful pathogens from individual to individual, but also to enhance the long-term success of dental implant and bone augmentation procedures. Each practice will have its own procedures and guidelines to achieve these standards. The success of implants is enhanced when we follow these processes – both during placement and in the aftercare guidance we give patients.
