Soft Tissues and Pink Esthetics in Implant Therapy 1st Edition

Practical Guide to Implant Dentistry

Each chapter of this highly practical guide begins with a question-and-answer section that addresses the most frequently asked questions from clinicians. Topics include: Why are “pink esthetics” crucial for achieving a successful treatment outcome? When is immediate post-extraction implant placement preferred, and when is it safer to pursue ridge preservation or augmentation? How and when can a keratinized tissue band be reconstructed or peri-implant soft tissues augmented? How are peri-implant aesthetic complications managed?

Drawing from the literature, the authors review the best available evidence to offer treatment guidelines. With over 90 clinical cases showcasing a variety of therapeutic needs, they provide compelling examples that include step-by-step analyses of techniques and recommendations for optimal treatment options in different clinical scenarios. This book addresses dilemmas that clinicians encounter in their daily practice and outlines clear strategies for achieving the best treatment results.
