Abstract:
Peri-implant diseases (PIDs) are highly prevalent and threaten both the success and longevity of implant-supported prostheses. Their prevention should begin before implant surgery (i.e., primordial prevention) by avoiding risk factor exposure and ensuring optimal implant placement conditions. Prehabilitation, a multimodal strategy already used in other surgical fields, can be applied to implant dentistry to optimize patient status before surgery. By addressing modifiable behavioral risk factors and strengthening systemic and local conditions, prehabilitation would enhance both short- and long-term outcomes of implant-supported rehabilitation.
