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)
