Soft Tissue Esthetics & Health – 10 Key Factors in Soft Tissue Management

Soft Tissue Esthetics & Health – 10 Key Factors in Soft Tissue Management

There are 10 key criteria that are important in implant therapy to achieve optimal soft tissue outcomes. The criteria are divided into 2 areas. 

The first area involves the biomaterial elements in therapy, while the second involves procedural issues. The biomaterial elements of implant surface, the implant neck, abutment material, the sub gingival abutment design, and abutment reconnection will be discussed. 

The procedural elements covered are implant spacing, implant vertical positioning, bone and soft grafting and provisional management. 

This presentation will focus on the 10 key criteria as applied in implant therapy for selected patients.
