In today's world, people are increasingly concerned about dental aesthetics. Edentulism can affect a person’s appearance, proper occlusion, and even mental well-being. Various options exist for replacing missing teeth, such as removable dentures, fixed crowns and bridges, as well as resin-bonded bridges. Before selecting a suitable prosthetic option for missing teeth, various factors are evaluated. Dental implants are highly desirable for patients as they offer high success rates and long-term survival when used to replace missing teeth. However, several challenges related to treatment planning errors, surgical complications, care for soft and hard tissues, and infections may compromise the effectiveness of implant therapy.
Research increasingly shows that long-term clinical stability and aesthetics significantly depend on the stability of the soft tissues around osseointegrated dental implants. Consequently, when planning implant therapy, the oral surgeon must possess the necessary knowledge to appropriately address potential complications and take the required measures to maintain or develop stable soft tissues. Various augmentation procedures can be performed to correct any soft tissue deficiencies or deformities.
Osseointegration is a fundamental part of the success of implant treatment. It refers to the biological and functional connection between the bone and implant, enhancing the stability of the implant-supported prosthesis. After treatment, patients should be advised to adopt proper and regular oral hygiene methods suitable for implants. Adequate follow-up care is also essential after implant treatment. Any postoperative soft tissue complications, such as peri-implantitis or peri-implant mucositis, must be addressed immediately, and appropriate treatment provided. This article discusses pre- and post-implantation procedures to prevent or manage soft tissue complications, ultimately ensuring implant success.
