Abstract :
In modern implant dentistry, achieving optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes extends beyond the immediate placement of the dental implant. A comprehensive approach that addresses both the patient's periodontal status and soft tissue health is critical to ensuring long-term success. This lecture focuses on the essential role of a well- planned, evidence-based protocol that combines periodontal and soft tissue treatment prior to immediate implant loading. Emerging evidence highlights the increased risk of peri-implantitis and implant failure in patients with untreated periodontal disease. Additionally, studies support the value of soft tissue augmentation in reducing peri-implant complications and enhancing implant longevity. These findings underscore the necessity of a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses not only the hard tissue structures but also the critical role of soft tissue health in the peri-implant region.
Learning objectives :
- Through a clinical case presentation, I will demonstrate a step-by-step protocol that integrates thorough periodontal evaluation and soft tissue augmentation to support successful implant outcomes.
- By ensuring optimal hard and soft tissue health, we can significantly reduce the risk of peri-implantitis and promote the longevity of dental implants.
- The key message throughout this lecture is that *purpose, direction, and planning are more important than speed* in implantology. A meticulously crafted, patient-centered protocol is essential for achieving predictable, long-lasting results in both hard and soft tissues, thereby maximizing patient satisfaction and implant success.
