Workshop / Implants/ Soft Tissue Regeneration/ Soft Tissue Surgery

The ultimate goal in implantology is to create a harmonious aesthetic outcome 
around dental implants that mimics the surrounding dentition and soft-tissue 
condition and which can be maintained for the long term.

A mucosal seal (“transmucosal attachment”) is required to prevent bacteria and 
bacterial products reaching the bone, thus safeguarding the osteointegration of 
the implant. This concept is at the base of modern implant dentistry.
This workshop will discuss the critical factors and the step by step surgical 
protocols associated with developing an adequate transmucosal tunnel around 
dental implants for optimal volume and attachment.

Additionally, when the volume of soft tissue is inadequate, or there is no 
keratinised tissue remaining, this presentation will show procedures to correct 
these deficiencies with soft tissue manoeuvres and connective tissue grafts for 
enhanced outcomes on a predictable basis.
