Management of acute periodontal conditions

Defining quality in dental care

Th Thin MT (<2 mm) was linked to increased PSTD, greater implant platform visibility and lower plaque index, and thin KMW (<2 mm) was linked to increased PSTD, greater implant platform visibility and lower plaque index.

Keratinised mucosa and implant outcomes

Framework for care complexity

Determinants of keratinized mucosa dimensional changes after apically positioned flap surgery around dental implants

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate changes in keratinized mucosa width (KMW) following an apically positioned flap (APF) during implant placement and to identify factors associated with KMW gain (KMWG). Patients and Methods This retrospective single-center study included patients who underwent APF during implant p...

Soft tissue grafting for the prevention and management of peri-implantitis.

AIM To critically summarize the current evidence on the role of the peri-implant soft tissue phenotype [specifically the width of keratinized peri-implant mucosa (KPIM) and the soft tissue thickness (STT)] and of the soft tissue grafting procedures used for the prevention and management of peri-implant diseases. MATE...

Peri-implant Bone and Periodontal Characteristics Associated with Caries Formation in Adjacent Teeth

Background: Preserving the integrity of teeth adjacent to dental implants is crucial for longterm success. This study evaluated whether radiographic bone parameters, spatial distances, and clinical periodontal indices are associated with new carious lesions in teeth neighboring posterior single implant-supported restor...
