Overview

Dental Implant Soft Tissue Plastics Course

This course explores the importance of soft tissue around dental implants and its role in aesthetic, functional, and long-term health outcomes. As implant dentistry evolves, peri-implant mucosa is increasingly recognised as critical, even more than bone in certain situations. Participants will gain an understanding of peri-implant mucosa, including its importance and long-term biological behaviour. The course also covers how to achieve adequate keratinized tissue thickness to provide a biological seal against implant disease and maintain stable mucosal margins. In addition, various procedures will be introduced to maintain or improve peri-implant mucosa across five critical soft tissue management timings. The course places a strong emphasis on split thickness flaps and the use of autologous tissue grafts.
