Summary: | Background
The prevalence of peri‐implant diseases, driven by biofilm accumulation and influenced by factors such as the width of keratinized mucosa (KM), underscores the need for understanding their etiology and management.
Purpose
To evaluate the association between the KM width and the clinical resolution of peri‐implant mucositis after mechanical therapy.
Materials and methods
Patients with an implant diagnosed with peri‐implant mucositis were allocated to two groups: wide band of KM (WKM ≥ 2 mm) and narrow/no band of KM (NKM |
