PURPOSE

To investigate the effect of mid-buccal peri-implant keratinized mucosa width (KMW) ≥2 mm or peri-implant KMW >0 mm and <2 mm on the long-term outcomes of peri-implantitis reconstructive treatment.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Twenty-nine patients (40 implants; mean follow-up: 9.2 ± 1.4 years) with at least one implant affected by peri-implantitis and surgically treated through a reconstructive procedure followed by a submerged healing were included. Patients were categorized according to their initial KMW: Group 1 (KMW ≥2 mm) and Group 2 (KMW >0 mm and <2 mm). Peri-implant clinical and radiographic parameters and a dedicated composite outcome were assessed at different follow-up visits during supportive peri-implant therapy for up to 10 years. Regression analyses were utilized to identify possible risk/predictive indicators for probing pocket depth (PPD) change and treatment success at the latest follow-up.

RESULTS

The mean PPD did not exhibit any statistical difference from the baseline to the latest follow-up between the groups at both patient and implant levels. Long-term treatment success was 46.6% (Group 1) and 42.6% (Group 2) at patient level, it was 42.8% (Group 1) and 33.3% (Group 2), respectively, at implant level (p > 0.05). Group 1 demonstrated significantly higher vertical defect depth reduction than Group 2 (p = 0.018). Presence of buccal bony wall and mean PPD at the baseline were found to be associated with mean PPD change, while KMW at 6 months following surgery was identified as the only significant indicator for treatment success (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Implants with KMW ≥2 mm did not present significantly better long-term clinical outcomes following reconstructive therapy than those exhibiting KMW >0 mm and <2 mm. However, KMW values at the end of healing phase following a submerged approach had a significant impact on long-term treatment success.
