description

The aim of implant therapy is integration, not only host tissue integration but also in the form of biology, esthetics, and mechanics, whereby the implant works as a system in harmony with the human body. Research inspired, this chapter will evaluate the fundamentals of soft tissue integration, the seal that protects the bone and acts as a barrier to the oral environment. Written by practicing clinicians, the goal is to provide information on how to optimize health through understanding handling, cleaning, aesthetics, and mechanics of the restorative componentry.
