title: [Esthetic peri-implant flap].
abstract: Dramatic improvements in aesthetics in osseointegrated implants can be accomplished with the new prosthetic solutions. These consist of the subgingival displacement of the "aesthetic limit" between the abutment (UCLA attachment), or by the utilization of the new components from the Brånemark System. A peri-implant soft tissue flap is suggested to create sufficient gingival thickness and, the same time, to allow for aesthetic and plaque removal considerations.
