1. Diet, lifestyle and habits. Avoid biting hard objects. Since the implant is in direct contact with the bone, there is no buffering and force feedback protection of the periodontal membrane of the natural tooth. Excessive bite force and poor lateral force will lead to alveolar bone absorption. In the future, you should also avoid biting hard objects and foods with particularly high toughness. If you find any abnormalities during use, such as the implant is accidentally hit by external force, the implant is loose, the gums are red, painful, and bleeding when brushing teeth, you should seek medical attention in time;
2. Regular check-ups and follow-ups. Are dental implants permanent? The various structures of dental implants are connected by screws or adhesives. Mechanical connections are limited by fatigue life and mechanical properties, which can easily loosen the various connecting parts of the implant; adhesive connections can loosen the restoration due to loosening or aging of the adhesive. Loose parts and alveolar bone absorption are often manifestations of implant overload. Patients need to go to the hospital in time to adjust the bite and re-fix the implant;
3. Daily oral cleaning and care. You can use a soft-bristled toothbrush and micro-abrasive toothpaste to carefully clean your teeth. The adjacent surfaces and dead corners that cannot be brushed can be cleaned with dental floss, interdental brushes or toothpicks. In addition, you should go to the hospital regularly to clean the implant with special instruments. If necessary, you can also ask a professional doctor to disassemble and clean the mechanical parts to prevent the growth of bacteria from causing oral diseases and affecting the life of the implant.
