THE ROLE OF SOFT TISSUE VOLUME IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERI-IMPLANTITIS

Abstract

The role of aesthetics and naturalness of periodontal soft tissues in the presence of orthopedic constructions is a difficult clinical task. A study was conducted on 46 clinical cases where two-stage implantation was done. In 25 clinical cases, the keratinized gum thickness with the implant was 2 mm>, and in 21 - 2 mm <. According to the conducted study, in all dental implant cases where the keratinized gingiva was 2 mm < we obtained higher periodontological indicators, compared to the clinical cases where the gingiva was 2 mm >. The bone cannot ensure good adaptation of the implant and attachment to the soft tissues. As a result of research, we can say that in dental implant the risk of inflammation of surrounding tissues is less if keratinized layer thickness > 2 mm. BL indices of loss are high in all examined clinical cases where the thickness of the keratinized layer is < 2 mm.
