Course Description

Soft tissue management for dental implants has become crucial not only for enhancing esthetic outcomes of implant therapy but also for improving implant health-related parameters. The long-term stability of peri-implant tissues seems to largely depend by keratinized mucosa width, mucosal thickness and supracrestal tissue height. Several techniques and materials have been investigated for soft tissue augmentation at implant sites, with autogenous grafts that seem to be the treatment of choice. Peri-implant soft tissue dehiscence will also be discussed, including their risk factors, classification and treatment.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn the definition of Peri-implant phenotype, its components and their effect on implant health
  • Treatment approaches for peri-implant phenotype modification
  • Learn the risk factors associated with Peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences/deficiencies
  • Learn the recent classification of Peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences/deficiencies
  • Treatment approaches for Peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences/deficiencies
