Abstract:

The peri-implant soft tissue barrier is critical to the esthetic, function, and long-term prognosis of the implants. Current studies have shown that adequate width of keratinized gingiva and sufficient mucosal thickness can reduce plaque accumulation, peri-implant inflammation occurrence, and marginal bone absorption. The volume of peri-implant soft tissues could be maintained by non-surgical treatments or enhanced via soft tissue augmentation surgery. In order to provide the evidence for clinical decision making and treatment planning, this article reviewed and discussed the clinical significance of peri-implant soft tissues, summarized the causes of soft tissue deficiency, and introduced the research progress of preventive methods and soft tissue augmentation techniques.

Key words: Dental implantation, Periodontium, Peri-implantitis, Keratinized gingiva, Soft tissue augmentation
