Prof. Giovanni Zucchelli and Dr. Carlo Monaco present surgical techniques for augmenting soft tissue around dental implants, addressing grafting approaches used to manage peri-implant mucosal deficiencies.
This course focuses on surgically augmenting soft tissue around dental implants, addressing the grafting techniques used to correct deficient peri-implant mucosa in both thickness and keratinized width. It covers indications for soft tissue grafting at different stages of implant treatment, from site preparation through final restoration.
The presentation reviews surgical technique selection, flap design, and graft handling for peri-implant soft tissue procedures, along with the clinical and esthetic rationale for augmenting soft tissue in areas of thin or deficient mucosa around implants.
