Abstract
Although there is no scientific data to support the concept, it is proposed that a band of attached gingiva around implants is clinically desirable. This can be accomplished by the use of gingival grafts either at the time of the second operation or at a later date. This seems preferable to mucogingival surgery performed before implants insertion.
