Dynamics of soft tissue healing at implants and teeth: a study in a dog model

Abstract

The healing process around teeth and implants follows a similar sequence of events. Nevertheless, the complete process of healing and maturation of the peri-implant tissues takes longer than around teeth.

Histological and micro‐CT analysis of peri‐implant soft and hard tissue healing on implants with different healing abutments configurations

“…This outcome revealed that the peri‐implant biologic width followed the shape of the abutment design, but with similar dimensions. Other studies demonstrated that irrespective of the implant design (Abrahamsson, Berglundh, Wensström, & Lindhe, ) or after type of resective surgery (Sukekava et al, ), the epithelial and connective tissue components will arrange with similar dimensions. In contrast, other studies reported that the vertical position of the implant shoulder according to the bone crest (Farronato et al, ) and the implant macrodesign (Becker et al, ) could influence the length of the epithelium attachment.…”

“…The dimensions of peri‐implant epithelial and connective tissue dimensions are a representative evaluation of the peri‐implant biologic width (Cochran et al, ; Sukekava, Pannuti, Lima, Tormena, & Araujo, ). Previous studies demonstrated that the establishment of peri‐implant biologic width on a dental implant with a horizontal offset configuration led to different outcomes at the implant shoulder/abutment interface (Canullo et al, ; Canullo et al, ; Canullo et al, , Rocha et al, , Strietzel, Neumann, & Hertel, ).…”

“…Furthermore, another recently published preclinical study demonstrated comparable histometric results with a two‐piece dental implant. The authors reported that the dimension of peri‐implant barrier epithelium was 1.7 ± 0.2 mm and the connective tissue attachment was 1.5 ± 0.5 mm (Sukekava et al, ). The present study presented similar results regarding the dimensions of peri‐implant soft tissue.…”

Dopamine self-polymerized along with hydroxyapatite onto the preactivated titanium percutaneous implants surface to promote human gingival fibroblast behavior and antimicrobial activity for biological sealing

“…22 A tight biological sealing may not only improve soft tissue integration but also prevent bacterial invasion. 27 To achieve this goal, the PDA coatings had been successfully deposited on the preactivated Ti surface by self-polymerization. After preactivation, the Ti with micro-and nano-structure and high hydrophilic should be more suitable for PDA deposition.…”
