Abstract
Apical migration of tissues related to dental implant supported restorations has become a common daily clinical dilemma that face clinicians. Too far labial and/or deep implant placement, thin tissue phenotype and defective labial plate of bone are all among the causative factors. The treatment approach to dental implant related gingival recession might be preventive or corrective intervention. the preventive measures would be the routine use of connective tissue grafts or the use of platform switching implant platform , etc. the corrective intervention depends mainly on the type of the recession occurred and on the existing level of the adjacent peri-implant papillae , the amount of attached gingiva, and the remained amount of labial bone ; among the Methods that specifically designed to treat implant related gingival recession are soft tissue focused solutions , or combined with the use of 3 dimensional bone grafting techniques, the use of inter positioned osteotomies ( sandwich osteotomy) and or the use of a novel modified composite allograft technique that will be introduced in the presentation . This presentation will overview the factors that lead to implant related gingival recession , a novel classifications of implant related gingival recession, a novel treatment philosophy , a novel guide to measure the success of the treatment degree of the improvement of the treatment , and clinical applications for the treatment of each implant recession class.
