Effects of soft tissue punch size on the healing of peri-implant tissue in flapless implant surgery

Minimally invasive flapless vs. flapped approach for single implant placement: a 2‐year randomized controlled clinical trial

“…; Lee et al. ). Authors’ thought was that inflammation occurring during the first 3 weeks of healing played a crucial role in early peri‐implant bone loss (You et al.…”

“…; Lee et al. ). As a matter of fact, early bone loss can be prevented or minimized if soft tissue wound around the dental implants heals quickly with little inflammation and scar tissue formation (You et al.…”

“…; Lee et al. ). Although the information of the influence of the incision design during implant placement on the formation of the implanto‐epithelial junction was only limited in animal study (Berglundh & Lindhe ; You et al.…”

Crestal Bone Loss under Delayed Loading of Full Thickness Versus Flapless Surgically Placed Dental Implants in Controlled Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Parallel Group Randomized Clinical Trial

“…Lee et al studied the effect of different sizes of tissue punch on the crestal bone level. Three tissue punch sizes were used (3, 4, and 5 mm) with a 4.1 mm wide implant.…”

Flapless implant surgery in mandibular molar region: Case report

“…U svojoj studiji, Lee i saradnici (2010) pokazali su da veličina perforacije mukoperiosta znatno utiče na ranu fazu zarastanja (prve tri nedelje nakon implantacije), kad inflamacija ima presudnu ulogu u ranom gubitku kosti oko implantata. Rana resorpcija kosti može se sprečiti ili umanjiti ako rane na mekim tkivima oko implantata brzo zarastaju s minimalnom inflamacijom i formiranjem ožiljka, što se postiže korišćenjem neznatno užeg punchera nego što je implantat [1]. Nakon perioda predviđenog za osteointegraciju, sluznica u predelu implantata gde je preparisan režanj je crvena, edematozna i krvari na nežno sondiranje, za razliku od sluznice oko implantata postavljenih transgingivalnom metodom koja je bez vidljivih znakova inflamacije [2].…”
