Soft Tissue Management and Aesthetics with Implants
Featuring: Dr. Ricardo Kern
Course Description:
The quality and design of the tissues surrounding implants are not only important for long-term maintenance, but fundamental for aesthetic purposes. Delivering “pink-free” restorative solutions over implants requires the full presence of the gingival contour, natural emergence profile, and respect for the aesthetic proportion ratio of crowns and bridges. Achieving the perfect balance between pink and white contour is a key point.
Immediate extractions can present an outstanding initial situation of tissue contour. In these cases, the preservation of the gingival “frame” is the goal of our treatment. Atraumatic extraction, proper 3D position of the implant, primary stability, gap grafting, and soft-tissue phenotype modification are essential for the protocol of immediate implant placement in fresh sockets. But beyond the basics, the knowledge of peri-implant remodeling after extraction, abutment/provisional design, and small surgical maneuvers can boost the aesthetic results and long-term tissue stability.
This lecture addresses the workflow for immediate implant cases in the aesthetic zone, from favorable situations to the most compromised sites.
Learning objectives:
1. Workflow for Immediate Implant Cases in the Aesthetic Zone
2. To Understand How Quality and Design of Tissues around Implants affect Treatment Outcomes
