Abstract:

When we define second stage procedure, we mainly concern about exposure of dental implants, what to use to expose them and how long shall we wait before impression? At the time of second stage, you expose the implants and the procedure you decide to do can help to increase the keratinized tissue around them. Ignoring the amount of soft tissue around implants will lead to discomfort and peri-implantitis in future. Evaluating the amount of keratinized tissue around the implants, if not sufficient we can increase it with simple procedures at the exposure session, better than leaving the implants with insufficient keratinized tissue which will cause periimplantitis, loss of bone and soft tissue, ending up with surgical procedures using bone grafts and connective tissue graft. So, at the second stage session, we have to know which procedure we have to do in order to expose the implants and to increase the keratinized tissue if insufficient to keep our implants free from peri-implantitis. We can do it simple from beginning better than postponing to major procedures with unpredictable results.
