Abstract
Objective: To present a clinical case of oral rehabilitation in a region of aesthetic defect with implant placement and use of subepithelial connective graft to gain vestibular volume and keratinized tissue. Case detail: A sixty-year-old female patient presented herself on October 11, 2019 for her first clinical consultation in the specialization course in implantology, at the Faculty of Dentistry, seeking treatment rehabilitation with implants.Removal of free gingival tissue from the maxillary tuberosity, de-epithelialization and adaptation of the subepithelial connective tissue graft in the posterior vestibular region of the maxilla were performed, together with the placement of two endosseous implants. After the osseointegration period, implant-supported provisionals were made for adaptation and formation of the peri-implant emergence profile. After the formation of the inter implant papilla, the porcelain crowns were installed. Final considerations: It was considered that the combined technique of implant placement and connective tissue insertion is effective for the rehabilitation of the patient, both in functional and aesthetic aspects.
