The harmonious integration of the implant with the surrounding soft tissue is a high importance factor for the treatment success. Function wise, the peri-implant soft tissue represents a unique sealing that can help prevent bacteria contamination of the implant surface. Furthermore, food impaction, phonetic and esthetic problems can be consequences of missing papillae. While implant treatments are gaining progressively more space in the daily practice, obtaining optimal results for a stable papillae and the pink remains a challenge. The presentation will describe step by step procedures to build up the peri-implant soft tissue. The learning methodology includes multiple full HD videos, detailed cases documentation as well as an interactive lecture.

• Understand the evolution of modern plastic surgery and the new developments to boost the peri-implant biotype with a minimally invasive approach.
• Confidently make clinical decision in plastic surgery around implants.
• Have a thorough knowledge on the principles of connective tissue grafting.
• Have a thorough knowledge on minimal invasive surgical techniques for soft tissue thickening around implants and vestibuloplasty.
• Critically evaluate advanced cases of soft tissue deformities next to teeth with a reduced periodontium and less potential for tissue augmentation.
