| description | Background
Dental implant maintenance is crucial to obtain and maintain a healthy peri‐implant situation. Although it is part of a dental hygienists (DH) scope of practice, the knowledge and common practices among DHs in the Netherlands are unclear.
Materials and Methods
A web‐based survey was distributed by the Dutch Association of DHs, by spreading survey QR codes and snowballing. The role of the different DH curricula 2‐ or 3‐year diploma and a 4‐year bachelor's degree is evaluated.
Results
In total, 165 (diploma: 73, bachelor: 92) DHs responded. Peri‐implant diseases were well known (98%), indices and clinical symptoms were used to assess peri‐implant tissues. A periodontal probe (97%) was used and bone loss was evaluated on radiographs (89%). Treatment was performed supra‐ and subgingivally (69%), mostly by titanium (45%) or plastic hand instruments (42%). Ultrasonic (52%) and air‐abrasive (52%) devices were often used. The recall interval for maintenance was based on a risk‐adjusted protocol (70%). DHs with a bachelor's received significantly more training compared to DHs with a diploma during primary education (p |

Materials and Methods
A web‐based survey was distributed by the Dutch Association of DHs, by spreading survey QR codes and snowballing. The role of the different DH curricula 2‐ or 3‐year diploma and a 4‐year bachelor's degree is evaluated.

The recall interval for maintenance was based on a risk‐adjusted protocol (70%). DHs with a bachelor's received significantly more training compared to DHs with a diploma during primary education (p < 0.001). Diploma DHs mainly obtained their knowledge from continuing education (p = 0.04). In general, there was no significant difference in knowledge or common practices.
Conclusions
The primary education of DHs with a 2‐ or 3‐year diploma and a 4‐year bachelor's varies. Due to the continuing education of diploma DHs, knowledge and common practices generally do not differ. Most DHs in the Netherlands perform implant maintenance. A periodontal probe and radiographs are used for examination. Instrumentation is performed supra‐ and subgingivally, usually with titanium or plastic hand instruments. The recall interval is based on a patient's risk assessment.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1601-5029</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 1601-5037</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1601-5037</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/idh.12841</identifier><identifier>PMID: 39072909</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Blackwell Publishing Ltd</publisher><subject>Adult ; Bone loss ; Continuing education ; Curriculum ; dental hygienists ; Dental Hygienists - education ; Dental Hygienists - statistics & numerical data ; Dental Implants ; education ; Female ; Humans ; Male ; Netherlands ; Original ; Radiography ; Risk assessment ; survey ; Surveys ; Surveys and Questionnaires ; Titanium</subject><ispartof>International journal of dental hygiene, 2025-02, Vol.23 (1), p.14-25</ispartof><rights>2024 The Author(s). published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.</rights><rights>2024 The Author(s).
