Why is infection control so important during the preparation and procedure stages of implants?

Infection control during the preparation and procedure stages of implants is crucial to minimize the risk of postoperative infections, which can lead to complications such as implant failure, prolonged recovery, and increased healthcare costs. Strict adherence to aseptic techniques reduces the introduction of pathogens into sterile environments, protecting both the patient and healthcare providers. Effective infection control also promotes better overall outcomes and enhances patient safety throughout the surgical process.
