What type of healing abutment, standard and individual gives what result and when is making a temporary crown wiser? What incision design is best used for this purpose. What importance does keratinized mucosa serve and how can we guarantee enough of it to keep a suprastructure cleanable? In what way can we harvest connective tissue grafts and from where the in mouth, to thicken the tissues and what anatomical structures must be considered. If subsequent infection occurs around an implant how do we diagnose it. What possible treatments are surgical and non-surgical.
