Soft Tissue Volume Augmentation Around Dental Implants

– Biological role of peri-implant soft tissues in long-term implant success
– Importance of keratinized mucosa and soft tissue thickness
– Establishment and maintenance of a stable biologic width
– Common peri-implant soft tissue deficiencies:

- Insufficient keratinized mucosa (KM)
- Inadequate tissue thickness
- Peri-implant mucosal recession.

– Threshold values for long-term stability
– Indications and case selection for soft tissue volume augmentation.
