The relationship between adequate keratinized mucosa and peri-implant disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Controversial conclusions have been drawn from recent researches that examined the impact of keratinized mucosa width on clinical parameters of peri-implant health status. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to assess the effect of keratinized mucosa width on these clinical parameters by combining data from different studies.

Methods

A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and VIP Data from the beginning of the database until May 2024. Mean difference (MD) along with the 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding index (BI), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and bone loss (BL).
