The incidence of a peri-implant soft tissue dehiscence/deficiency (PSTD) is not rare finding. Despite multiple previous attempts aimed at correcting the PSTDs, classification these conditions has yet been proposed. This lack in literature may also lead to discrepancies reported treatment outcomes and thus misinform clinician or readers. aim present article was therefore PSTD single implant site.Four classes PSTDs were discussed based on position gingival margin implant-supported crown...
Abstract Aim To evaluate the long‐term outcomes of Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) with Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) or Tunnel technique (TUN) in treatment multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGRs). Material and methods Nineteen original 24 patients contributing to a total number 33 sites for CAF 34 TUN were available 12 years follow‐up examination. Recession depth, mean root coverage (mRC), keratinized tissue width (KTW), thickness (GT) evaluated compared baseline values 6‐months...
ABSTRACT Aim To describe the application of power Doppler Ultrasonography (US) for evaluating blood flow at implant and palatal donor sites following soft tissue augmentation with connective graft (CTG). Materials Methods Five patients exhibiting a peri‐implant dehiscence received treatment coronally advanced flap corresponding CTG. Power US was used assessing volume baseline, 1 week, month, 6 months 12 post‐surgery blood‐flow dynamics sites. The speed‐weighted power‐weighted colour pixel...
Abstract Aim To assess the prognostic value of soft tissue phenotype modification following root coverage procedures for predicting long‐term (10‐year) behaviour gingival margin. Materials and Methods Participants from six randomized clinical trials on at University Michigan were re‐invited a longitudinal evaluation. Clinical measurements obtained by two calibrated examiners. A data‐driven approach to model selection with Akaike information criterion (AIC) was carried out via multilevel...
Abstract Aim To investigate whether the lack of keratinized mucosa (KM) affects peri‐implant health after 10 years loading. Materials and Methods Data from 74 patients with 148 implants two randomized controlled studies comparing different implant systems were included analyzed. Clinical parameters including bleeding on probing (BOP), depth (PD), plaque index, marginal bone loss (MBL), KM width (KMW) at buccal sites collected baseline (time final prosthesis insertion), 5‐year postloading....
Color flow ultrasonography has played a crucial role in medicine for its ability to assess dynamic tissue perfusion and blood variations as an indicator of pathologic condition. While this feature ultrasound is routinely employed various medical fields, intraoral application the assessment at diseased versus healthy dental implants never been explored. We tested hypothesis that quantified power Doppler correlates with clinically assessed inflammation implants. Specifically, we designed...
Esthetic complications of dental implants in the esthetic zone can have a major negative impact on patients' quality life and perception implant therapy. The aim present study was to evaluate prevalence peri-implant soft tissue dehiscence (PSTD) clinical ultrasonographic risk indicators for this condition.Subjects with ≥1 healthy single area were identified recruited. Clinical measurements, including PSTD class subclass, probing depth, keratinized mucosa width (KMW), mucosal thickness (MT)...
