Filter by:The goal of this randomized-controlled clinical study is to investigate the impact of soft tissue phenotype modification following free gingival grafting (FGG) in addition to the non-surgical mechanical therapy of peri-implant mucositis (PM) with keratinized mucosa width (KMW) < 2 mm over a 6-month follow-up period. Therefore, the following questions related to the study are raised: - Does soft tissue modification following free gingival grafting around the implants, in addition to non-surgical mechanical therapy of PM, affect the complete disease resolution? - Does the presence of KMW < 2 mm around the implants exhibit similar outcomes compared to the sites with sufficient KMW (i.e., ≥ 2 mm) for professional mechanical plaque removal? Patients who apply to the Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Gazi University, are systemically healthy, have implant-supported fixed restorations installed at least one year prior to their enrollment, and are diagnosed with PM on these implants will be selected for the study. Patients with KMW < 2 mm at the respective implant sites will be treated with non-surgical mechanical treatment combined with soft tissue augmentation with FGG or non-surgical mechanical treatment alone. As a positive control group, those who apply to the same department, have implants in function as noted during routine annual maintenance appointments, and are diagnosed as healthy will be selected.
The aim of this study was to characterize the host-related response of peri-implant soft tissue induced by 3 different materials: titanium, resin and PEEK (polyetheretherketone) on man. The primary endpoint is to asses the histological data available: Histological analyses are carried out with immunohistology (CD68, CD3, CD20, macrophages), non decalcified histology to appreciate the structure of the peri implant soft tissues (Sulcus depth, junctional epithelium, connective tissue adhesion). Moreover: scanning electronic microscope (SEM) of the experimental abutment is performed to juge the cell adhesion on the abutment surface. The secondary endpoint is to assess clinical data, radiological bone remodeling regarding the different material. The hypothesis is that resin abutment lead to more inflammation than PEEK or titanium.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the incidence of postoperative hypergranulation tissue formation after gastrostomy tube placement among children randomized to one of three treatments, in addition to measuring tube dislodgements and rates of resource utilization for complications.
