Impact of Restoration Contours on Peri-implant Tissue and Bone
Dr. Michitsuna Katafuchi
Interest in the influence of restorative contours on peri-implant tissue, bone, and peri-implant health has grown over the last several years. The design of restorative contours is determined by factors such as implant platform type, placement position, and restorative need. Recognizing the interplay between restorative and biological components is essential for long-term treatment success, with restorative contours serving as a key link between the two. This presentation will provide an evidence-based update on how restorative contours impact soft tissue and bone around implants.
