The clinical significance of the width of peri-implant kera- tinized mucosa (KM) remains a subject of ongoing debate but is generally accepted. During the 2017 World Work- shop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions, experts failed to identify KM as a contributing factor for peri-implantitis but suggested that “the absence, or a reduced width of KM may negatively affect self-performed oral hygiene measures.”1 However, a recent systematic review has indicated that a reduced width of KM (<2 mm) is associated with an increased biofilm accumulation, soft-tissue inflammation, mucosal recession, marginal bone loss, prevalence of peri-implantitis, and heightened patient discomfort.[/fusion_text][fusion_button link="https://paroplastic.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/The-Expanded-Mesh-Free-Gingival-Graft_CAP_FULLARTICLE_compressed.pdf" title="" target="_self" link_attributes="" aria_role_button="0" alignment_medium="" alignment_small="" alignment="center" modal="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" sticky_display="normal,sticky" class="" id="" color="default" button_gradient_top_color_hover="" hue="" saturation="" lightness="" alpha="" button_gradient_top_color="" button_gradient_bottom_color_hover="" button_gradient_bottom_color="" gradient_start_position="" gradient_end_position="" gradient_type="" radial_direction="" linear_angle="180" accent_hover_color="" accent_color="" type="" bevel_color="" bevel_color_hover="" border_top="" border_right="" border_bottom="" border_left="" border_radius_top_left="" border_radius_top_right="" border_radius_bottom_right="" border_radius_bottom_left="" border_hover_color="" border_color="" size="" padding_top="" padding_right="" padding_bottom="" padding_left="" fusion_font_family_button_font="" fusion_font_variant_button_font="" font_size="" line_height="" letter_spacing="" text_transform="" stretch="default" margin_top="" margin_right="" margin_bottom="" margin_left="" icon="" icon_position="left" icon_divider="no" hover_transition="none" animation_type="" animation_direction="left" animation_color="" animation_speed="0.3" animation_delay="0" animation_offset=""]Lire l'article complet[/fusion_button][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
