Conference summary
Nowadays patients have become more demanding about aesthetic results when replacing missing teeth with implants. The current trend is shifting from merely restoring the loss of function to complete restoration to achieve a natural appearance of restorations on implants.
Gingival cervical contour is of great importance for the aesthetics and healthy of an implant-supported restoration, and the soft tissue profile should replicate that of a heathy natural tooth.
Soft tissue and hard tissue remodeling occurs immediately after tooth loss, which usually results in an incongruous gingival profile and compromised aesthetics. However hard tissues could be preserved at the time of extraction or augmented before or at the time of implant placement, but the shape of the gingival mucosa should be additionally reconstructed so that the implant supported restoration could show a natural tooth-like emergence profile (EP). Many different reconstructive surgical procedures have been developed to attain better results however it is challenging to manage surgical and prosthetic procedures to achieve an optimal EP with acceptable quantity and quality of peri-implant soft tissue.
The aim of this lecture is, therefore, to provide an overview of how to prosthetically manage with soft tissue around the implant in different protocols to achieve favorable quality and contour of peri-implant soft tissue.
