Soft tissue is not just about aesthetics. It’s about protection.
During his visit at SDS, Prof. Giovanni Zucchelli joined us for
our Soft Tissue Management Course — and we took the opportunity
to sit down with him for a short interview together with Dr.
Gregor Hočevar and Dr. Ilian Dargel after the course.

Key insights from the conversation:

- Soft tissue sealing protects the implant from bacterial
contamination

- A stable connective tissue layer is essential to prevent
peri-implantitis

- Increasing soft tissue thickness improves papilla stability and
long-term outcomes

- Zirconia implants show promising adhesion behavior with soft
tissue

The takeaway? Rethinking implantology means shifting the focus —
from bone volume alone to biological soft tissue management.
