Importância da mucosa ceratinizada na manutenção da saúde perimplantar

Abstract

The presence of keratinized mucosa around the implant provides a better tone of the tissue being a factor that can bring a better position to protect mechanical perimplantar, since this occurs only through the junctional epithelium, because there is no insertion of fibers conjuctive as occurs at the barrier around the teeth. Studies indicate the presence of greater inflammation perimplantar in areas with less than full 2mm, but still not conclusive whether different surface treatments and prosthesis can interfere with long-term implant maintenance.
