In this episode of The Full Arch Podcast, Dr. Leke Olowokere sits down with Dr. Tomasz Kaczyński to discuss one of the most overlooked drivers of long-term full-arch success: soft tissue management. While implants and bone often dominate treatment planning, this conversation reframes tissue as a biologic foundation for stability.
They explore why soft tissue plays a different role in FP3 full-arch cases compared to single-tooth restorations, with a particular focus on the mandible. Dr. Kaczyński shares how tissue quality and biologic principles influence long-term stability and complication risk in full-arch treatment.
Key Highlights:
🔹 Biology Over Aesthetics – Why soft tissue matters more for stability than cosmetic outcomes in FP3 cases
🔹 Mandible-Specific Challenges – How tissue limitations in the lower arch contribute to long-term complications
🔹 Concepts Over Protocols – Using biologic principles to guide rational, case-specific surgical decisions
