description | <b>1. Background:</b> Peri-implantitis affects a high percentage of patients treated with dental implants. Among the risk factors that can cause this pathology, limited evidence exists regarding the absence of keratinized mucosa. The main <b>objective</b> of this study was to compare the amount of keratinized mucosa around healthy implants versus implants in patients with peri-implantitis, in order to analyze its influence on esthetics and the development of this pathology, and to study the possible influence of keratinized mucosa on various clinical parameters. <b>2.</b> <b>Methods:</b> A retrospective case-control study was carried out in which 203 implants were evaluated, 103 of which presented a healthy peri-implant state, versus 100 which had peri-implantitis. The following elements were recorded: keratinized mucosa, recession, plaque index, bleeding, suppuration, probing depth, and bone level. <b>3.</b> <b>Results:</b> Keratinized mucosa was present in 51% of the peri-implantitis group versus 97.1% of the healthy implants. In implants without keratinized mucosa, both recession and plaque index, bleeding on probing (96.2%), suppuration (57.7%), mean probing depth and bone level were higher. Implants without keratinized mucosa presented worse esthetics. <b>4. Conclusions:</b> Absence of Keratinized mucosa around dental implants seems to be associated with the appearance of peri-implantitis modifying certain clinical parameters: there is a greater probability of recession, bleeding, suppuration, deficient hygiene, greater probing depth and greater bone loss in implants without keratinized mucosa. |
