Bone Gain, Peri-Implantitis, Soft Tissue
Conditions
Brief summary
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
Interventions
granulation tissue debridement and grafting of a free gingival strip obtained from the palate
