Abstract

MATEOS, L; LAZARO, PJ; HERRERO, F  and  HERRERO, M. Periodontal surgical techniques applied to implantology. Avances en Periodoncia [online]. 2003, vol.15, n.2, pp.57-68. ISSN 2340-3209.

Both periodontal and periimplant tissues share morphological and functional characteristics. This allows adapting common used periodontal techniques to the implantology. Nowadays, it is a normal practice to manage the soft periimplant tissues in a correct way, in order to improve the periimplant environment. The aim of this article is to make a literature review of all these concepts as well as the application of some periodontal techniques to the field of the implantology.

Keywords : Implants; gingival grafts; soft tissue management.
