Abstract

Peri-impant soft tissues stability became an increasingly thought after goal nowadays in almost every dental implant surgery especially in the esthetic zone, despite being totally over looked in the early stages of the oseointegration era. Implantologists previously focused mainly on achieving oseointegration and considered it to be the bench mark for dental implants success regardless to the esthetic outcomes. With the rise of esthetic dentistry and the use of computer guided technology in surgeries and restoration fabrication, peri implant soft tissues health and stability became of huge concern and a corner stone in dental implants overall success and survival longevity evaluation index. So this study aims to evaluate the effect of the minimally invasive implant surgeries versus the conventional flapped surgical procedures on the peri implant soft tissue around the dental implants. Promising results were postulated from the current study showing a marked superiority of health, speed of recovery, esthetics and stability of the peri implant soft tissues around dental implants placed by minimally invasive surgical protocols versus the conventional flapped surgical techniques. Thereby, concluding that minimally invasive surgical techniques results in an overall better dental implants outcomes aided by the advanced technology in both dental implants installations and final restorations.
