Soft Tissue Augmentation and Corrections for the Prevention and Management of Peri-implant Disease

Soft-tissue augmentation is essential for both the prevention and management of peri-implant disease. The establishment of an adequate width of keratinized tissue and soft tissue volume to compensate for possible mucosal recessions following surgical treatment of peri-implantitis is fundamental. The focus of this workshop is extensive hands-on. Topics will include flap designs for soft tissue augmentation, the use of pouch techniques for augmentation of keratinized tissue, harvesting and handling of connective tissue and free gingival grafts, and clinical application and management of scaffolds for soft tissue grafting and mucosal recessions.
