Various techniques for the placement of different types of dental implants have evolved to the point where predictable bone-to-implant integration occurs if proper surgical technique is followed. The soft-tissue adaptation to the implant abutment is the first line of defense to prevent the development of peri-implantitis and subsequent bone loss. Given that there is a tenuous protective seal around dental implants, the rationale for soft-tissue augmentation around dental implants to provide an improved, tightly adapted implant/soft-tissue interface definitely exists.
如果遵循适当的手术技术，就会发生可预测的骨与种植体结合。软组织对种植体基台的适应性是预防种植体周围炎及随后骨质流失的第一道防线。鉴于牙种植体周围存在脆弱的保护性密封，围绕牙种植体进行软组织增量以提供改善的、紧密贴合的种植体/软组织界面的基本原理肯定是存在的。
