For natural appearance of implant-supported prostheses placed in aesthetic areas, the preservation and/or reconstruction of the tissue volume is crucial in many instances. Soft tissue, bone, or combined augmentation may be attempted to reduce alveolar ridge defects and enhance the alveolar contour at the edentulous segment. However, while adequate tissue volume around anterior implants is a key to aesthetic success, proper management of the provisional and definitive restoration are of paramount importance to obtain optimal esthetic results. On the other hand, management of esthetic complications on implants is a complex task in daily clinical practice.

In this two day program, a decision tree to treat complications around implants is explained. Also, fundamental concepts for subgingival abutment design and the role of the critical and subcritical contour to sculpt the peri-implant soft tissues, including the mucosal margin level, architecture and color, will be described step by step.
