Covering a Soft-Tissue Dehiscence at a Mandibular Incisor
Clinical Case Report
Clinical Case Report
Adequate peri-implant soft-tissue thickness is essential not only for esthetic but also for functional reasons. In this case, Vincenzo Iorio Siciliano demonstrates how he achieved increased height and thickness of posterior peri-implant soft tissues to obtain a stable mucosal seal and a width of keratinized tissue favorable to toothbrushing.
The patient, a healthy 38-year-old woman, was referred for increasing the width of the keratinized tissues at the buccal aspect of dental implant 46. The site exhibited a premature-closure screw exposure caused by trauma during chewing, with inadequate keratinized tissue.
