Keratinised tissue that lasts — a three-hour Harvard-trained lecture on soft tissue grafting around teeth and implants
Periodontists David M. Kim of Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Jerry C. Lin of Taipei Medical University deliver Soft Tissue Augmentation around Teeth and Dental Implants as a single three-hour presentation. It starts from the biology of oral wound healing, sets out the principles of soft tissue surgery, and then works through techniques for different defects, dehiscence coverage over implants and preventive soft tissue management, always with clinical decision-making in the foreground.

Inside the lecture
From healing biology to surgical rules
The speakers begin with wound healing in the mouth and derive the surgical principles that follow from it, providing the logic behind later technique choices.
Augmentation in implant dentistry
Applications around implants are reviewed, with different techniques presented for different defects and a framework for deciding when and how to intervene, including preventive approaches at placement.
