Cleaning guidance
• When your skin has completely healed, it is important to continue your skincare routine to
avoid any build-up of debris around the abutment.
• Wash the abutment area with warm water every day. You can do this while taking a bath or
a shower. During hair washing any debris on the abutment may become softer and is then
easier to remove.
• After you have cleaned the area, use a cotton swab or a soft cleaning brush to clean gently
around and inside the abutment. A mirror might be helpful when cleaning
this site.
• If you cannot remove the debris, place a piece of gauze soaked in warm water around the
abutment for 5-10 minutes. Then clean the abutment with a cotton swab or the soft cleaning
brush followed by a non-alcoholic wet wipe. Never scratch the skin around the abutment
with anything sharp.
• If you have two implants, you should use two soft cleaning brushes – one for each abutment.
• All soft cleaning brushes should be replaced every three months and only soft cleaning
brushes, like the one supplied, should be used.
• If a hot hair dryer is used after showering it must not
be directed towards the abutment for too long.
This is to avoid heating up of the abutment and
implant. A cool hair dryer can be used.
