Soft and Hard Tissue Manage ment Around Implants in the Esthetic Zone

Successful implan t therapy in the esthetic zone depends as much on the tissues around the i mplant as on the implant itself. This two-hour program reviews the biologi c and clinical factors that protect soft- and hard-tissue volume from extr action through restoration. Dr. Al Rezk will discuss how the transmucosal zone of the abutment influences the peri-implant soft-tissue seal\, drawin g on his published literature review in General Dentistry (2018) on soft-t issue response to abutment materials and surfaces\, including titanium and zirconia. He will also present socket preservation in the esthetic zone\, including the vascularized pedicle combination epithelial-subepithelial t issue graft technique he described in Clinical Case Reports (2019). Clinic ians will leave with a practical framework for planning extractions\, pres erving ridge and soft-tissue architecture\, and selecting abutment materia ls that support long-term peri-implant health and esthetics.
