Managing failures with implants in the esthetic area
“Key surgical & prosthetic considerations for soft tissue integrity to achieve optimal esthetic outcomes”
The goal to create a harmonious “esthetic” outcome around dental implants that mimics the surrounding dentition and soft-tissue condition as well as morphology is indeed difficult to create and maintain long term. The subepithelial connective tissue graft {CTG) is a favored option to treat and prevent gingival and peri-implant soft tissue recessions. It is usually placed in combination with a coronally advanced flap or with an envelope flap or pouch. This lecture will focus on the different surgical and prosthetic criteria when it comes to treat anterior implants using as a volume maintainer only soft tissue grafting procedures. Techniques and tools will be discussed in order to reach such results around anterior implant treatments.
