Longitudinal study on the effect of keratinized mucosal augmentation surrounding dental implants in preventing peri-implant bone loss.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dental implant therapy is a well-established method of prosthetic rehabilitation of missing teeth. To maintain the health of the surrounding tissue, management of risk factors/indicators and daily maintenance are important. It still remains controversial whether a certain amount of keratinized mucosal width is essential for maintaining the health of peri-implant tissue. The purpose of this multicenter retrospective study was to assess the correlation between bone loss around dental implant and the amount of keratinized tissue width.

Methods

A total of 1,644 implants were evaluated. Data was collected about participants' general and dental history, as well as implant details. Bone resorption around implant was calculated from intra-oral radiographs taken after 1 ye
