Soft Tissue Substitutes: Current Biomaterials and Indications at Teeth and Implant Sites
This manuscript provides an updated overview of the current evidence on soft tissue graft substitutes for teeth and dental implants. When appropriately indicated, these biomaterials offer a reliable, less invasive alternative to autogenous grafts, effectively improving root coverage, keratinized mucosa width, and soft tissue thickness with reduced ...

Nanoparticles in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry: From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications
Nanotechnology holds significant promise in improving dental care, yet there is a need for more reliable clinical studies to validate its effectiveness and safety. ABSTRACT Recent advances in nanotechnology are reshaping the landscape of periodontology and implant dentistry, particularly through the application of nanoparticles (NPs).

Surgical treatment of refractory peri‐implant mucositis with a free gingival graft (FGG) was effective in disease resolution, achieving reductions in probing pocket depth (PPD) and inflammation. Significant gains in mucosal thickness (MT) and keratinized mucosa width (KMW), as well as partial recession coverage and re‐establishment of attached mucosa ...

Sixty years after the introduction of dental implants, it is clear that soft‐tissue integration is as essential as osseointegration. This review outlines how peri‐implant soft tissues develop, protect, and sometimes fail, revealing key knowledge gaps and new opportunities to improve long‐term implant stability.

Peri‐Implantitis and Periodontitis: Biological Convergence, Contextual Divergence
Periodontal and peri‐implant tissues differ and coincide in many aspects, from the clinical and radiological perspective, including histology, microbiology, and molecular markers. Thus, health and disease may also follow different and similar routes.
