In this episode of The Full Arch Podcast, Dr. Leke Olowokere continues the conversation with Dr. Tomasz Kaczyński, shifting from soft tissue principles to surgical decision-making. The focus is on how tissue strategy influences long-term full arch stability.

They discuss how restoring and maintaining your own cases changes implant depth, platform positioning, and tissue planning, with specific attention to mandible versus maxilla differences.

Key Highlights: 🔹 Ownership Changes Planning – Surgeons who follow their full arch cases long term make different tissue and implant decisions 🔹 Reference Tissue, Not Just Bone – Platform and MUA positioning should be planned relative to tissue levels 🔹 Arch Specific Strategy – Mandible and maxilla tissue conditions require different compensation approaches

🎧 Listen to Episode 156 (Part 2) — Tissue Is the Issue: Surgical Decisions That Protect Long Term Outcomes to hear how tissue-based planning shapes implant positioning and complication prevention in full arch treatment on The Full Arch Podcast.
