Course Overview
Presented by Swallow Dental Supplies.
Aims:
To explore the importance of the peri-implant mucosal seal and peri-implant phenotype in long-term implant health, with particular focus on how EthOss can support the development of a stable biological environment for bone regeneration and soft-tissue healing.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the key anatomical and biological differences between the periodontal seal around natural teeth and the mucosal seal surrounding dental implants.
- Identify the three components of the peri-implant phenotype — keratinised mucosa width, mucosal thickness and supracrestal tissue height — and understand their influence on peri-implant health.
- Recognise how surgical and restorative techniques can help preserve the peri-implant mucosal seal, including minimal tissue disturbance, appropriate implant positioning and the “one abutment, one time” concept.
- Describe how EthOss supports the regenerative environment, including its in-situ cell-occlusive barrier, maintenance of periosteal contact and potential contribution to osteogenic, angiogenic and soft-tissue healing processes.
- Understand how creating and protecting a stable biological bed may support predictable bone regeneration, soft-tissue healing and long-term peri-implant health.
