The ultimate goal of restoring patients is
to provide them with restorations that mimic the natural dentition.
The interrelationship between hard- and soft
tissue on aesthetic outcome has been demonstrated. Emphasis
will be placed on the influence of implant placement on subsequent
hard- and soft tissue remodeling to establish biologic width
around the implant, and on the newly developed scalloped
implant that allows for the maintenance of interproximal
bone and thus the soft
tissue contours.
Course Objectives:
After attending the course, attendees should have a thorough
understanding of:
1. Development of biologic width around an implant.
2. Surgical implant placement and its influence on future
osseous contours.
3. Osseous levels directly influencing tissue levels and thus
aesthetic outcome (quality of survival)
