Abstract
|
|
|
|
The significance of keratinized mucosa in implant maintenance is a controversial issue. As such, there is no consensus regarding the relationship between the width of keratinized mucosa and the health of peri-implant tissue. However, clinicians prefer to provide enough keratinized mucosa around implants for long-term implant maintenance and stabilization of the gingival margin position. The purpose of this case report is the clinical evaluation of an apically positioned flap with a porcine collagen matrix to provide keratinized mucosa and deepen the vestibule around implants during second stage implant surgery. In this case report, a clinically relevant amount of keratinized mucosa was achieved around implants and the vestibule was deepened. Thus, an apically positioned flap with a porcine collagen matrix is an available technique for providing keratinized mucosa and deepening the vestibule around implants during second stage implant surgery. This technique could be potentially used in routine autogenous or another graft procedures to provide keratinized mucosa around implants.
