Soft and Hard tissue augmentation in implants

Dental implants are commonly preferred over removable prostheses because they are convenient, as these prostheses are fixed. For successful implants, soft and hard tissues should have adequate volume and quality and present a balanced unit for implant placement. Soft and hard tissue deficiencies at implant site are common clinical findings. Apart from this the success of implant and prosthodontic treatments also depends on patient selection, preservation of the hard and soft tissues, proper surgical technique, and loading protocols.In addition to appropriate function, esthetics are highly important in dental implant treatments.
