Effect of peri-implant soft-tissue phenotype on peri-implant health
Dental implant is a commonly used therapeutic option for reconstruction of edentulous space.Adequate peri-implant soft tissue is crucial for preventing biological and esthetic complications.Peri-implant soft-tissue phenotypes including supracrestal tissue height,mucosa thickness and keratinized mucosa width could reflect the quality and quantity of peri-implant soft tissue.Different soft-tissue phenotypes might impact the stability of implant restoration through altering the tissue remodeling or inflammatory response.This review will discuss the influence of peri-implant soft-tissue phenotypes on tissue remodeling and inflammatory response after implant placement.
