The regeneration of soft tissue and bone around implants with and without membranes.
The popularity of osseointegration for the replacement of anterior teeth has placed an increased demand on the preservation of normal gingival anatomy. This has led to the development of a variety of soft-tissue and bone-augmentation techniques that either prevent tissue collapse or restore previously damaged areas of the alveolus. With bone grafts, barrier membranes, and autogenous connective-tissue grafts used in combination with each other or separately, lost structures can be reconstructed into a normal configuration for optimum esthetic restorations.
