Abstract: Soft and hard tissue defects are often found in the dental implant sites due to trauma, inflammation, and other reasons, which will cause adverse effects on the implantation, wound healing, and esthetic and functional recovery after restoration. Increasing the amount of tissue in the combinational defect through different surgical techniques helps to gain ideal tissue conditions for implantation. In this paper, the classification of soft and hard tissue defects and the selection of opportunity and methods for soft and hard tissues augmentation are summarized, respectively. The indications, prognosis, advantages, and disadvantages are analyzed to provide guidance for clinical selection

Key words: dental implant, soft and hard tissue defects, combined defect, tissue augmentation
