Abstract

As reported in Chap. 3, two main terms may be used when planning gingival soft tissue procedures around natural teeth: mucogingival surgery and periodontal plastic surgery. However, such soft tissue augmentation or reduction procedures may be applied at implant sites as well. As a result, the term “peri-implant plastic surgery (PiPS)” appears as the application/translation of the concepts, surgical procedures, and main indications developed for the treatment of tooth soft tissue deformities to dental implants. Consequently, PiPS could be defined as the group of procedures aimed to correct aesthetical and/or functional, peri-implant soft and hard tissue deformities of acquired or pathological origin.
