Nice presentation DrNigel. I have seen many cases during the last years with a very good emergence profile especially in terms of mesial and distal aspect of the surrounding bone. Everybody over the time look at the mesial and distal papilla. What I usually see is at those cases with 5 years post op is a very thin buccal soft tissue compared with the adjacent. I strongly believe that all cases in the aesthetic zone should be grafted with CTG even if we have more than 2mm of keratinized tissue. Because I consider not only the keratinized tissue which is essential, but also the thickness of it.(multiple layers of collagen fibers that will prevent from thinner the buccal soft tissue over the time)(Ueli Grunder) Thanks for this amazing presentation.

Superb! Did you make the video at the end.

Will it still stick on the abutment even the use of the vaseline. Very clear and amusing presentation, I like the English humor Willem van der Heijden, The Netherlands

A duplicate of the abutment is used or specifically constructed, this is then coated with a separator, vaseline was used, the crown is filled with cement and then placed on the duplicate outside the mouth, the excess is removed and the crown is transferred to the abutment in the mouth, it effectively eliminates the problem of excess cement, which is so destructive to the soft tissues.

Felipe; It's quite effective and works very well to avoid the common problem of excess cement below the gingiva with implant restorations. Dr. Salama

Laurent Rosemblaum sorry for my English ... he removes excess cement from the crown, cementing first it into an abutment analog, remove quickly before the cement setting and then takes the crown to the abutment on the mouth. ok?

Excellent presentation ! I have the same question as DR. Rosemblaum .

Laurent Rosemblaum - (2011/05/28 6:51)

very nice video,but I didn't understand the cementation technique. What do you mean by cementation outside of the mouth
