Abstract
|
|
|
|
Keratinized gingiva around dental implants has important roles: 1) protecting the marginal gingiva from bacterial invasion, 2) preventing gingival recession, 3) dissipating muscular and frenal pull and 4) enhancing effective plaque control. Therefore adequate amount of keratinized gingiva (minimum 2 mm) has been recommended for long-term maintenance of dental implants. The aim of this case report was to augment keratinized gingiva around dental implants by apically positioned flap and free gingival graft and enhance oral hygiene for long term maintenance of implants.
