I read a great discussion on OsseoNews on the need for aseptic technique for dental implants, entitled, Implant Surgery: Do I Completely Cover or Drape the Patient?, but that post was old and the comments are now closed.

I am wondering if anyone can refer me to studies that have shown aseptic technique is necessary for dental implant cases?

I was trained in a hospital setting where everything was done under aseptic technique. But now that I am in private practice I am wondering if this is really necessary. I want to minimize the risk as much as possible, but I don’t want to be wasting time and materials when there is no statistically significant difference. Thoughts?

Our goal at OsseoNews.com is to help expand knowledge of dental implants and related dental fields by offering interactive online education and communication tools.
