Tooth replacement by means of dental implants is considered to be a predictable procedure in modern dentistry. It is through the process of osseointegration that the stability of the implant is secured. The maintenance of stability and function of the load carrying implant however, is dependent on a wellfunctioning barrier mechanism established at the trans-mucosal passage of the implant. The anatomic differences between the periodontal and the peri-implant tissues contribute to render more difficulty in the interpretation of the clinical outcomes. The factors to be considered in this regard are; establishment and maintenance of biological health, prevention of recession, aesthetics and cleansability of the reconstruction. These presentations will demonstration the importance of the soft tissue complex around dental implants, as well as the different surgical techniques and time frames regarding the enhancement of the soft tissue barrier at the implant sites.
