However, infection and inflammation may occur and lead to implant loss and prostheses failure. Therefore, some postsurgical care as hygiene with soap and water, soft toothbrush, and Superfloss type dental floss and medication with anti-inflammatory and antibiotic are suggested to avoid complications. In addition, a thin and smooth layer of subcutaneous tissue in the peri-implant area should be preserved during implant insertion to favor the assistance recommended in this phase.565-567engExtraoral implantmaxillofacial prosthesispostsurgical careArtigo10.1097/SCS.0b013e3181d025a7WOS:000276073200063Acesso restrito97198838148725820000-0002-3800-3050
