Opis

A thin biotype is predisposed to mucosal recession, peri-implant crestal bone loss, and compromised implant stability. Preimplant interventions aim to enhance gingival thickness, thereby improving soft tissue resilience and long-term prognosis. Autogenous soft tissue grafts, biomaterials, and growth factors have been explored to modify the gingival phenotype before implant placement. This book evaluates current evidence on preimplant augmentation techniques for managing thin gingival biotype, focusing on their efficacy, stability, and clinical implications in implant dentistry.Managing a thin gingival biotype before implant placement is critical for long-term implant success. Various surgical and non-surgical techniques are available, with connective tissue grafts being the most predictable.
