Soft tissue phenotype modification impacts on peri-implant stability: a comparative cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Soft tissue phenotype modification (STPM) could be performed to maintain peri-implant health. Therefore, the aim of the study was to analyze tissue alteration around implants following soft tissue phenotype modification during implant uncovering surgery.

Materials and methods

Patients who had STPM (either pouch roll or modified roll technique) during implant second-stage surgery with at least 12-month follow-up were included. Clinical and radiographic parameters including mucosal tissue thickness (MTT), recession (REC), keratinized mucosa width (KMW), probing pocket depth (PPD), marginal bone loss (MBL), emergence profile, and emergence angle were extracted from 2-week, 2-month, and 12-month visits after second-stage surgery.

Results

Twenty-eight patients w
