Abstract

In recent years, esthetic dentistry has continued to evolve with our patients’ demands. In addition to the harmony of facial features and smiles, it has become possible to achieve extremely advanced esthetic results including improving soft tissue quality and quantity. For that reason, we need to have the option of surgical management of soft tissues applying periodontal plastic surgery (PPS) when performing prosthetic restoration. As a pretreatment for prosthetic restoration, a soft tissue with the required amount and morphology around the implant and natural teeth is constructed in harmony with the surrounding tissue. Diagnosis and preoperative examinations are very important before the treatments. Clinical parameters include the periodontal phenotype, the amount of keratinized gingiva, position of gingival margin, the height of interdental papilla, etc. Applying PPS options to gain esthetics and long-term function after prosthetic restoration are often needed. The application of microsurgery is an effective method because these PPS procedures requires extremely delicate and precise surgical procedures. This chapter presents practical clinical examples and verifies the advantages of microsurgery.
