Immediate versus delayed single implants — two full surgeries commented by Iñaki Gamborena, with soft tissue as the focus
Two uncut procedures are placed side by side in Key Surgical and Prosthetic Considerations for Soft Tissue Management in Immediate and Delayed Implantology: an immediate implant in the esthetic zone and a delayed one in the posterior region. San Sebastián clinician Iñaki Gamborena, affiliate faculty at the University of Washington and the University of Pennsylvania, narrates both over 5 h 14 min, comparing how hard and soft tissue are handled at each stage.

What you’ll be able to do
- Assess tissue phenotype, thickness and site anatomy before choosing timing
- Select incisions, flap design and connective tissue grafting for stable peri-implant tissue
- Shape tissue with provisional restorations and well-designed emergence profiles
- Pick abutments and definitive prostheses that keep gingiva and implant in harmony
- Anticipate complications that threaten esthetics and tissue health
Inside the course
Immediate placement in the anterior zone
The first procedure runs 3 h 25 min and concentrates on surgical choices: evaluating phenotype and anatomical limits, incision and flap design, and when a connective tissue graft is needed to keep the soft tissue stable.
Delayed placement in the posterior region
The second, at 1 h 49 min, shifts attention to the prosthetic side: abutment and emergence design, conditioning the tissue with provisionals, and choosing a final restoration.
A critical comparison
Throughout both videos Gamborena contrasts the two treatment options, pointing out the strengths and trade-offs of each concept rather than presenting one as universally better.

Before you buy
Is there any lecture content, or only surgery?
Both lessons are complete operations with continuous commentary, so the teaching comes through narration rather than slide lectures.
Does it cover multiple-implant or full-arch cases?
No, each video shows a single-tooth implant.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
