    Study Notes

    Soft Tissue Grafting in Implant Dentistry

    • Ulrich Grunder is a leading expert in implant dentistry with over 30 years of experience.

    • Soft tissue grafting is used to gain volume in the aesthetic zone of dental implants.

    • Soft tissue grafting is often done in conjunction with bone augmentation for better results.

    • Soft tissue grafting is necessary to compensate for the thinning of soft tissue after tooth extraction.

    • Immediate implant cases always require soft tissue grafting to maintain stability and aesthetics.

    • Soft tissue grafting is also used to remove scar tissue and improve the overall appearance of the implant site.

    • Timing of soft tissue grafting varies depending on the case, but it is often done at the time of tooth extraction or implant placement.

    • Soft tissue grafts are left to heal for about 6-8 weeks before proceeding with further procedures.

    • The removal of scar tissue is done as the first step in the soft tissue grafting process.

    • Soft tissue grafting is done using a non-resorbable membrane, which allows for better bone growth.

    • The flap is closed after soft tissue grafting and allowed to heal for 4 weeks before the second stage procedure.

    • Soft tissue grafting is a crucial step in achieving stable and aesthetically pleasing implant results.Soft Tissue Grafting for Late Failures in Implants

    • Soft tissue grafting is important for both immediate and delayed implant placement.

    • Late failures in implants can occur even 19 years after the initial procedure.

    • Soft tissue grafting is necessary for late failures with thin soft tissue.

    • The Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access (VISTA) technique is used for thin soft tissue.

    • Soft tissue augmentation is more important than placing any xenograft in the extraction site.

    • Autograft is the gold standard for soft tissue grafting, but xenograft may have benefits in some cases.

    • The tuberosity graft is often not sufficient in volume, so lateral palatal graft is commonly used.

    • The choice of grafting technique does not significantly affect the final result.

    • Connective tissue grafts are preferred, but the deeper we go, the more fat tissue we have.

    • The harvesting technique involves a quick procedure with a horizontal incision.

    • Taking larger grafts ensures better blood supply and reduces shrinkage.

    • The mucoderm technique using the Mucatom instrument allows for precise de-epithelialization in the patient's mouth.
