Consideration of Soft Tissue in Natural Teeth and Implants

Abstract

In recent years, various risk factors and treatments for peri-implantitis, one of the most common complications after implant treatment, have been studied. Peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis is defined as infection of the plaque biofilm according to the new classification of EFP and AAP published in 2018. In order to prevent the development of peri-implant diseases, we would like to compare natural teeth and peri-implant tissues, especially focusing on peri-implant soft tissues, and consider methods to prevent these diseases that can be applied today.
