This case study explores an approach that combines surgical and prosthetic techniques to improve the gingival tissue surrounding an implant. A 53\u2010year\u2010old patient had an esthetic concern due to gum recession around his implant. To correct this, his dental crown and abutment were adjusted. Then, a gingival grafting procedure to reposition the gingival tissue and enhance its thickness was performed. After healing for eight months, the implant was permanently restored with a final crown. The results showed significant improvements in gingival tissue health, thickness, and appearance, leading to patient satisfaction. The findings highlight how combining surgical techniques with prosthetic adjustments can help manage similar cases, offering a predictable solution to improve both the appearance and stability of dental implants.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cap.70039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,19]],"date-time":"2025-11-19T18:10:49Z","timestamp":1763575849000},"page":"395-401","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Management of peri\u2010implant soft tissue dehiscence with combined prosthetic\u2010surgical approach: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-0355-5794","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Omran Bishbish","family":"Zeino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontics Loma Linda University School of Dentistry Loma Linda California USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoon Jeong","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontics Loma Linda University School of Dentistry Loma Linda California USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/JPER.20\u20100519"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/head.12246"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/JPER.19\u20100566"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/JPER.18\u20100616"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1532\u20103382(12)70025\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600\u20100501.2007.01413.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600\u2010051X.2012.01921.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jerd.13100"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/JPER.18\u20100615"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3290\/j.qi.a34397"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1563\/AAID\u2010JOI\u2010D\u201013\u201000043"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11607\/prd.1344"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpe.13806"}],"container-title":["Clinical Advances in Periodontics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/aap.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/cap.70039","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T07:04:11Z","timestamp":1767855851000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/aap.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/cap.70039"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,19]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/cap.70039"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/cap.70039","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2573-8046","2163-0097"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2573-8046","type":"print"},{"value":"2163-0097","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,19]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2025-03-24","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2025-10-30","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2025-11-19","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
