The peri‐implant phenotype

Factors influencing the preservation of the periimplant marginal bone.

Esthetic outcomes cannot be attributed to a single parameter. Rather, as this article shows, they are the result of a number of important factors, especially in the esthetic zone. An understanding of the meaning of biologic width, of the integration of the platform-switching concept into implant treatment facilitates the preservation of a stable marginal bone level around the implant neck. This...

Implant Insertion Methods and Periimplant Tissues – Experimental Study

Efficacy of periimplant mechanical debridement with and without adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in the treatment of periimplant diseases among cigarette smokers and non-smokers.

OBJECTIVE The aim was to assess the efficacy of mechanical debridement (MD) with and without adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in reducing periimplant inflammation among cigarette-smokers and non-smokers. METHODS Cigarette-smokers and non-smokers were randomly divided into 2 groups. In the test-group, participants underwent full mouth scaling and periimplant MD with adjunct aP...

Is the presence of keratinized mucosa associated with periimplant tissue health? A clinical cross-sectional analysis

BACKGROUND Long-term data concerning the impact of missing keratinized mucosa (KM) on periimplant tissue health are rare. The importance of KM for implant success remains unclear. METHODS Two hundred eleven patients with 967 dental implants were analyzed up to 15 years after implant placement. Implants were divided into two groups: no keratinized mucosa (NKM) and KM. Evaluated parameters were...
