Dealing with aesthetic complications with dental implants can be very challenging.  In this seminar, the reasons for aesthetic complications will be explored in detail.  We will take a deep dive into the surgical and prosthodontic solutions that may be considered to manage these cases.  Video presentations will be used to demonstrate surgical techniques.

This seminar will feature a hands-on session where participants will use connective tissue grafts and soft tissue substitutes to increase soft tissue volume in a pig jaw model.

In this seminar, the following questions will be addressed:

• What are the main causes of soft tissue complications with implants?
• How can connective tissue and free gingival grafts be used to manage aesthetic implant complications?
• What are the limits of soft tissue grafting in managing recession defects on dental implants?
• How to analyse a case to determine whether a soft tissue graft will be predictable?
• Does a bone graft combined with a soft tissue graft achieve better results?
• The power of pink ceramic - when can prosthodontic solutions be used to manage aesthetic complications?
• Designing and fabricating the "pink ceramic" flange in cantilever fixed prostheses using a single implant (I-cFDP) and when replacing multiple adjacent teeth.
• Hiding the transition zone.
• Prosthodontic tips and tricks.
