Abstract
Dental implants are reliable tools for replacing missing dentitions. Nevertheless, several complications of implant therapy have been observed, including esthetic nightmares. Peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences/deficiencies include several conditions that can be characterized by the exposure of the metallic components of the dental implants in the oral cavity and/or by an implant-supported crown longer than the contralateral homologous natural tooth. Several risk indicators predisposing to this condition have been identified, including limited keratinized mucosa width, mucosal thickness, lack of buccal bone, etc.
This lecture will focus on the prevention and treatment of peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences, with a particular focus on the selection of the most appropriate surgical approach for each scenario in order to obtain long-term stable and esthetic outcomes.
Learning objectives
- Learning the definition and classification of peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences
- Reviewing the risk indicators leading to implant esthetic complications
- Discussing the most appropriate surgical approaches based on the type of peri-implant soft tissue dehiscence

Why should I take this course?
Lack of expertise: Many dental professionals may not have specialized knowledge in the area of peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences, which can lead to improper treatment and poor outcomes.
Inadequate treatment: Without proper training, treatments for peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences may not be as effective, leading to recurring or worsening symptoms and increased risk of implant failure.
Improved patient outcomes: By taking a course on peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences, professionals can learn about the best practices for preventing and treating this condition, leading to improved patient outcomes and better overall care.
Better patient satisfaction: With improved outcomes, patients are more likely to be satisfied with their treatment and experience less discomfort, which can lead to increased patient loyalty and positive word-of-mouth recommendations.
Increased marketability: As more and more patients seek out dental professionals who specialize in the prevention and treatment of peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences, taking a course in this area can increase a professional’s marketability and competitiveness in the field.
