Gingival Augmentation Around Implants During Maintenance

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Failure of Dental Implant Due to Lack of Attached Gingiva

In brief

This prospective controlled randomized blind clinical study investigated 44 implants displaying lack of KG in 29 subjects. Fourteen subjects received FGGs followed by oral prophylaxis. Fifteen subjects in the control group did not receive FGGs. The width of KG, gingival recession (GR), pocket depths (PD), plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) were assessed at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months. Changes in crestal bone levels, from baseline, were assessed at 18 months.
