Center of Implantology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Badajoz, Spain

Status: Completed

Conditions: Bone Gain; Soft Tissue; Peri-Implantitis

Treatments: Procedure: Free gingival graft obtained from the palate and debridement of the peri-implant lesion

Study type: Interventional

Details and patient eligibility

About

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
