Abstract
Management of peri-implant soft tissue is as important as preserving the peri-implant bone level. Many techniques,approaches and materials have been used to achieve healthy, keratinized, esthetic peri-implant soft tissue or correct/augment any deficiency in it. Platelets Rich Fibrin (PRF) or Concentrated Growth Factors (CGF) is one of those materials that can be used to achieve soft tissue augmentation, especially in esthetic zone. Osseointegration is no longer considered the only parameter upon it we can judge the success of the implant therapy. Even precise ceramic duplication of the contour,shade and translucency of natural dentition may still result in an aesthetic failure if the gingival profile, color and texture are compromised. Therefore, the functional and aesthetic success of implant treatment in the anterior esthetic zone depends not
only on the quality of the restoration but also on the final aspect of the contour and stability of the marginal gingiva and the
proximal papillae in harmony with the adjacent teeth.
