This article reports a protocol for facilitating the oral hygiene and maintenance of supporting tissues in patients who wear implant-supported complete fixed dental prostheses. Small notches are placed on the acrylic resin below the prosthesis flange where the hygiene instrument should be inserted. These notches are filled with colored composite resin (blue) so that patients can see the sites of interest, which contributes to adequate plaque control and long-term periimplant health.
