QUISPE-LOPEZ, N  e  MONTERO, J. Apical access technique with simultaneous grafting of subepithelial connective tissue for the treatment of peri-implant soft tissue fenestration: description of the technique and presentation of a clinical case. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.3, pp.26-31.  Epub 06-Nov-2023. ISSN 2340-3152.

When we talk about implant and soft tissue defects we mainly associate them with soft tissue dehiscence. Generally, we are more and more accustomed to treating this type of pathology. However, in daily clinical practice we find other aesthetic concerns about soft tissue that require study and treatment. From this point of view, the aim of this clinical case report was to describe a surgical approach using the apical access technique for the treatment of an aesthetic fenestration on the peri-implant soft tissues.

The selection of the bilaminar technique using an apical access with simultaneous connective tissue grafting seems to offer promising results for the treatment of peri-implant soft tissue deformities.
