ITI Masterclass Uperio Liège

Enhancing peri implant soft tissues with mucogingival surgeries

Prof. Dr. France Lambert & Dr. Bruno de Carvalho

The quality of peri-implant soft tissues is crucial for the long-term stability and aesthetics of dental implants. The absence of keratinized gingiva promotes plaque accumulation, tissue inflammation, and underlying bone remodeling. 

Furthermore, the aesthetic outcome of implant-supported restorations in the aesthetic zone heavily depends on the harmony between the gingiva and the prosthetic crown.  For these reasons, optimizing the quality and quantity of fibrous gingiva around implants is essential.

The aim of this Master Class is to highlight surgical techniques to optimize or regenerate soft tissues at implant sites, whetherbefore, during, or, in some cases, after implant placement.  

These techniques will be demonstrated through clinical cases and clinical videos, with participants gaining practical experience by performing these procedures on pork jaws during the hands-on session.
