The significance of keratinized mucosa (KM) around dental implants is still not well
explained and has been controversial. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the …

Background: The need for keratinized mucosa (KM) or immobile keratinized mucosa (ie,
attached mucosa [AM]) for the maintenance of osseointegrated endosseous dental implants …

The long-term efficacy of adequate keratinized mucosa (> 2 mm) in dental implants is
controversial. Peri-implant plastic surgeries are currently used because they increase …

Our objective was to determine the association between keratinized mucosa width and the
health status of the supporting tissue around implants supporting overdentures. Sixty-six …

Masticatory mucosa around implants may be useful to enhance esthetics and/or plaque
control. This study proposes simplified guidelines for maintaining or obtaining a minimal …

Background A few evidence is available in the literature concerning the pattern of variation
in the width of keratinized mucosa (KMW) around dental implants and factors that may affect …

Objective To review the dental literature in terms of soft tissue augmentation procedures and
their influence on peri‐implant health or disease in partially and fully edentulous patients …

Objective To evaluate the role of keratinized mucosa around dental implants, correlating
with other clinical parameters related to the success of dental implants. Design Cross …

Objectives: To investigate the association between keratinized mucosa (KM) width and
mucosal thickness (MTh) with clinical and immunological parameters around dental …

Whether or not keratinized tissue is needed around dental implants to maintain peri-implant
health is a controversial subject. To clarify this issue a search was conducted for clinical …
