Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Management 2023

Dental implants have become a widely accepted modality for replacing missing teeth to fulfill both the functional, aesthetic, and other needs of patients. Adequate supporting structures (bone and soft tissues) are essential to achieving high implant success rates. While adequate quantity and quality of bone play a major role in the short and long-term implant support, proper soft tissue management contributes to both functional and aesthetic outcomes. This book highlights different modalities and techniques for handling soft tissues from the surgical phase and through and beyond the restorative phase. The aim of the book is to provide dentists who are involved in dental implants with an overview of how to deal with challenges they may face regarding soft tissues as related to supporting the placement of implants.
