Summary

Cross-sectional study involving the measurement of the width of lingual keratinized tissue (in the implant locations) in fully edentulous patients restored with dental implants. The width of KT will be correlated with the primary outcome, diagnosis of peri-implantitis, defined as Probing depth (PPD)\>= 6 mm, inflammation/ bleeding on probing (BOP) and bone loss \>= 3 mm from the implant platform.

Detailed description

The study will be conducted with a cross-sectional design. All clinical parameters (width of buccal and lingual keratinized tissue, probing depth, bleeding on probing, plaque, crestal bone loss, gingival index, suppuration) will be collected in mandibular implants in fully edentulous lower arches. The width of lingual band of keratinized tissue (KT) will be be correlated with diagnosis of peri-implantitis or peri-implant mucositis.

Conditions
