Study Evaluates The Effect Of Implant Mucosal Tunnel On Peri-Implant Health: WebDentistry: Home of SmileFinder!
Summary
—The latest issue of the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) research summarycovers the topic of whether the implant mucosal tunnel is a critical modifier for peri-implant health. Adequate biofilm control and accessibility around the implant supra-structure for proper cleaning are key factors for the prevention and treatment of peri-implant diseases. This experimental case-control study - summarised as JCP Digest 02 (2019 series) - investigated the effect of the depth of the so-called “mucosal tunnel” on the induction, development, and resolution of peri-implant mucositis. The full research was published in the February edition (Volume 46, Number 2) of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology. It was summarised for JCP Digest by students of the EFP-accredited postgraduate programme in periodontology at Yeditepe University, in Istanbul, Turkey.
