Keratinised tissue around implants in under an hour — graft choice, timing and complications with David Wong
Board-certified Tulsa periodontist David Wong condenses his approach to peri-implant mucosa into a single 54-minute, case-based lecture: Soft Tissue Management Around Dental Implants. It explains the biology of the soft tissue seal, when to graft relative to implant placement, and how to choose between free gingival, connective tissue and alternative grafts for health or esthetics.
