Overview

In implant dentistry, it is often the soft tissue that defines the final esthetic outcome. Dr. Mirela Feraru's lecture at the Alpha-Bio Tec. Global Congress 2026 in Rome focuses on the critical role of soft tissue management in the esthetic zone, highlighting techniques that preserve, augment, and sculpt the peri-implant architecture.








A Comprehensive, Minimally Invasive Approach

From atraumatic extraction and ridge preservation to advanced connective tissue grafting and provisionalization strategies, a comprehensive, minimally invasive approach is presented.

The Interplay Between Surgical and Prosthetic Parameters

Special attention is given to the interplay between surgical and prosthetic parameters, including the influence of prosthetic contours, emergence profile, and the use of conical connection systems in supporting soft tissue stability and long-term integration. By understanding how prosthetic design guides tissue behavior, clinicians can move from passive reconstruction to active tissue shaping.

The lecture integrates surgical precision with prosthetic vision, guiding clinicians toward stable, harmonious, and naturally integrated results.
