Tissue regeneration is an essential part of implant treatment. As a result of a missing tooth, the per-implant tissue atrophies, i.e. in addition to the bone, the gums that once surrounded the tooth also shrink. The longer ago the tooth was lost, the greater the atrophy. Consequently, reconstruction of the soft tissue is required to insert the implant. Advanced microsurgical techniques such as gingival grafts, platelet-rich fibrin, I-PRF and A-PRF are used for this purpose.
It should be noted that the soft tissue around an implant behaves differently from that around a natural tooth. This is why it is so important to know the micro anatomy and physiology of the soft tissue surrounding the implant. Careful implementation of soft tissue management can prevent complications, safeguard the result and achieve full aesthetics for the patient.
The entire process of soft tissue regeneration during implant treatment is a lengthy process that requires time and patience. The various phases of tissue regeneration can take between 3 and 12 months, depending on the degree of gum atrophy. Regular visits to the dentist are essential to monitor the condition of the tissue and adjust the treatment if necessary.
When it comes to soft tissue regeneration during implant treatment, careful oral hygiene and following the dentist's recommendations are essential. It is important to remember that the regeneration process is one of the most important elements of implant treatment, and its progress has an impact on the durability and stability of the implant placed.
In summary, soft tissue regeneration is an important part of the implant treatment process. With precise soft tissue management techniques, it is possible to restore the soft tissue and achieve complete aesthetics in the patient. However, this process requires time, patience and careful adherence to oral hygiene as well as regular check-ups with the dentist.
