PubMed ID (PMID): 24757698Pages 40-53, Language: EnglishDominguez, Encarna / Vazquez, Margarita / González-Martín, Oscar / Alandez, JavierSoft tissue fenestration in implants is considered not only as a situation that could negatively influence the long-term stability of the implant, but also creates an esthetic problem when it occurs in the visible area of the mouth. This article describes the resolution of a case that presented a vestibular fenestration of an osseointegrated implant placed to substitute the upper right incisor, which does not respect the recommendations of ideal three-dimensional position in a young patient with a high smile line. The case was treated using two mucogingival surgical techniques to avoid a more invasive approach. A prosthetic immediate final abutment was inserted in the day of the second surgery. The fenestration was successfully covered and 2 years later it remains stable. In this article, the details about the treatment are described.
