SOFT TISSUE MANAGEMENT AROUND TEETH & IMPLANTS

SIMILAR APPROACHES FOR THE SAME ESTHETIC GOAL

MAY 18 – 20, 2023 IN ATHENS, GREECE 

WITH PROF GIOVANNI ZUCCHELLI

3-Day Intensive Program
with Hands-On Training in Athens, Greece

New knowledge in soft tissue surgical management permits to achieve esthetic coverage in gingival recession with minimally invasive connective tissue grafts. The recession of the buccal soft tissue margin is a frequent complication of well-integrated dental implants. The appearance of metallic structure or even their transparency through the thin buccal soft tissues, are common reasons for patient aesthetic complaints. Moreover, bad implant placement frequently results in excessive apical dislocation of the buccal soft tissue margin of the implant-supported crown. Soft tissue plastic surgical procedures and bilaminar techniques in particular, can be successfully used in combination with a pre and postsurgical prosthetic approaches to increase the volume of the interdental soft tissue, to treat buccal gingival recessions and soft tissue dehiscence around dental implants and to provide the new implant supported crown with an esthetic transmucosal emergency profile. Soft tissue augmentation surgical procedure can be performed during delayed and immediate implant installation. A novel soft tissue approach will be presented for implant placement in area of tooth extraction for severe periodontal disease.
