Conference summary
With the placement of implants in a massive way in recent years, several problems related to them arise today, of which those that affect implants in the aesthetic zone stand out. The growing demand of patients combined, in many cases, with the low availability for invasive treatments, lead clinicians to consider, whenever possible, the possibility of maintaining existing implants. In this context, the manipulation and grafting of soft tissues, plays a relevant role in the resolution of many of these cases, in various situations, associated with the exchange / modification of the prosthetic components and respective prosthesis, as well as the respective emergency profiles. Nevertheless, there are cases in which it is necessary to remove the existing implants, and proceed with the necessary treatments for a new aesthetic rehabilitation. At this conference, the various treatment possibilities will be addressed.
