Association of Keratinised Mucosa Around Implants and Teeth With Peri-implant/Periodontal Disease and Soft Tissue Conditioning

Center of Implantology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Badajoz, Spain37 enrolled

Overview

Lack of keratinised mucosa around dental implants and teeth is associated with plaque accumulation and worse tissue conditions. However, there is lack of data on the influence of the presence/lack of keratinised mucosa on the periodontal condition. Hence, soft tissue conditioning by grafting with a gingival graft is aimed at improving the quality of the peri-implant conditions
