M31: The recall visit for a patient with crowns, a bridge and an implant: the interval, the examination, cleaning teeth and implants, the mechanical check, and home care

One recall visit for an adult who has natural teeth, crowns, a bridge and an implant crown: keep the recall every six months for life and sooner for a patient identified as high risk; examine the head, neck and mouth, the teeth, every part of the restorations and the prostheses, and correct problems before they turn into complications; clean the natural teeth and crowns with accepted mechanical and chemical methods and the implant crown and abutment with instruments and glycine powder air polishing that are safe for implants; reassess contours and adjust, repair or replace any part that compromises function, with new screws when an implant crown is taken off; and send the patient home brushing twice a day with a high-fluoride toothpaste, the right cleaning aids, a night guard worn during sleep where indicated and any removable prosthesis out at night, read against the American College of Prosthodontists recall and maintenance guidelines.
