Abstract
Present paper aims to discuss and emphasize the importance of maintenance programs for oral implants among general dental practitioners for successful implant dentistry. Bacterial plaque accumulation around the endosseous dental implants results in inflammatory changes in the surrounding soft tissues and if not controlled, has shown to develop the progressive destruction of the supporting tissues, which may ultimately compromise its future. Maintaining the permucosal seal of soft tissue to implant surface and healthy tissue around oral implants is the prerequisite to its success and hence, it is important to introduce an effective preventive regimen and a therapeutic intervention should be initiated as early as possible when a pathological condition of peri-implant tissues is diagnosed.
