Ricardo Kern – 3 Days Course Program
“SOFT TISSUE MANAGEMENT” for Implants
First Day - 8h Theoretical
Second Day - 8h Hands-on
Third-Day - 8h Theoretical
The quality and design of the tissues surrounding implants are essential not only for long term maintenance but also fundamental for aesthetic purposes.
Delivering “pink-free” restorative solutions over implants requires the full presence of the gingival contour, natural emergence profile, and respect for the aesthetic proportion ratio of crowns and bridges.
Achieving the perfect balance between pink and white contour is a Key point. Extractions can present an outstanding initial situation of tissue contour for Immediacy. In these cases, preserving the gingival “frame” is the goal of our treatment. But much more than the basic… The knowledge of peri-implant remodelling after extraction, abutment/ provisional biology and design, and minor surgical manoeuvre can boost aesthetic results and long-term tissue stability.
In cases of soft tissue deficiency around Osseo-integrated functional implants, the surgeon must be prepared to identify, classify, and establish the correlated technique to fix phenotype and re-design the aesthetic contour to the ideal framing.
Also, when the maintenance of the old implant is not ideal, the surgeon must know how to develop a strategy to replace the implant and/or create a Healed site that allows the full reconstruction.
