Abstract: Adequate and healthy soft tissue surrounding the implant is crucial for achieving aesthetic and long-term outcomes in anterior dental implant treatments. This article presents a case study of reconstructing severe soft tissue deficiency in the anterior dental region. Through the use of vascularized interpositional periosteal-connective tissue (VIP-CT) flap, the restoration of soft tissue aesthetics and function was successfully achieved, laying a solid foundation for subsequent implant restoration.

Key words: soft tissue augmentation, VIP-CT flap, aesthetic area, implant
