The Significance of Keratinized Mucosa on Implant Health: A Systematic Review

Abstract: Based on current available evidence, a lack of adequate KM around endosseous dental implants is associated with more plaque accumulation, tissue inflammation, MR, and AL.

“…Several reviews noted insufficient evidence for the need for keratinized mucosa around implants to maintain peri-implant tissue health (16,35,42,43). In the present study, the width of keratinized mucosa was not associated with development of peri-implant diseases.…”

“…A number of studies have reported fairly high prevalences for peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis (5,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Some evidence suggests that poor oral hygiene (9), history of periodontitis (13,14), smoking (15), lack of keratinized mucosa (16), and implant surface topography (17) are associated with peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Furthermore, periodontally compromised patients who did not completely adhere to supportive periodontal therapy had a higher implant failure rate (18,19).…”

“…Another advantage that seems not to draw much attention in the literature is the abundance of keratinized mucosa that can be achieved in the area of the fistula with a palatal flap, which can be a valuable asset to provide support for a future dental implant in the region [26][27] . As far as the reported limitations of the palatal flap are concerned, limited elasticity did not jeopardize its satisfactory displacement, as, with the technique used, the flap was detached from the periosteum and extended all the way towards the posterior third and soft portion of the palate, where limited elasticity is no longer critical 16 .…”

“…Ausencia de encía queratinizada: La deficiencia de mucosa queratinizada alrededor de los implantes, parece estar relacionada a parámetros clínicos de inflamación y a la acumulación de biolfim. Sin embargo, en base a la evidencia disponible actualmente, la cantidad de mucosa queratinizada en relación al desarrollo de la peri implantitis permanece controversial (28,29) .…”
