| Abstract: | According to the American Dental Association (ADA), over 5 million dental implants are placed each year in the US. Further, it is estimated that the prevalence of peri-implant mucositis is approximately 43% while that of peri-implantitis is 22%.¹ The rising use of dental implants to replace missing teeth² has resulted in a parallel increase in peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. This article seeks to review the pathophysiology of these conditions, the evidence supporting primary and primordial prevention strategies, and the essential role of supportive peri-implant therapy (SPIT) in maintaining long-term implant health. Scientific evidence demonstrates the need for patient-driven behaviors and professional interventions for supportive implant therapy. Adjunctive tools, tailored maintenance strategies, and risk-based recall intervals are highlighted to equip dental professionals with practical, evidence-based strategies to help patients maintain healthy implants.
