Soft tissue management in implant dentistry is crucial for achieving both functional and aesthetic success. Proper handling of soft tissues ensures optimal healing, prevents complications like peri-implantitis, and enhances the final prosthetic outcome. Techniques such as flap design, tissue grafting, and suturing play a key role in maintaining keratinized tissue around implants, which supports long-term stability. Additionally, careful manipulation of soft tissues during surgery and prosthetic placement helps achieve natural-looking gingival contours, improving patient satisfaction.
