Abstract

With the advent of dental implants, alveolar defects with insufficient bone height and width have emerged as an area of great concern. Since the overlying soft tissue forms the chief component of any esthetic effect, the maintenance and augmentation of the soft tissue emerged an area of concern and focus. This review discusses the synergy of hard and soft tissue augmentation around implants. The reader is introduced to the fundamental concepts of bone grafting,and guided to the sequence of treatment and treatment options that exist for ensuring optimum peri-implant esthetic and functional results.
