Content of the webinar Modern implantology is dealing more and more intensively with the problem of peri-implant tissue. Osteointegration is no longer a question with all implant systems that can demonstrate recognized research and proven clinical experience. However, implants must be long-lasting and free of complications.The peri-implant tissues play a decisive role here. Soft tissue management during the prosthetic phase can lead to satisfactory results, but implant positioning in relation to the alveolar ridge is a decisive factor: subcrestal placement of the implant means giving the bone, and thus the soft tissue, more space to ensure blood supply and reshaping of the papillae.
Focal points
Optimal subcrestal positioning
Improved blood supply to the peri-implant tissue
Promotion of the formation of mature marginal tissue
Reshaping of the papilla tissue
Reduced force distribution due to the beveled shoulder of the implant
Platform switching ensures more crestal bone
Preservation of the alveolar ridge determines the long-term success
