Abstract
Objectives
The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of the available techniques for the management of peri-implant soft tissue defects around single implants in the anterior region.
Material and Methods
A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science (all databases), and Cochrane, using keywords and MeSH terms related to the topic. This systematic review included prospective interventional studies with a minimum of 10 patients and at least 6 months of follow-up.
Results
A total of 13 articles were included, with eight focusing on outcomes related to buccal soft tissue dehiscence coverage procedures and the remaining five investigating interventions aimed at augmenting soft tissue thickness. Coronally advanced flap in combination with connective tissue graft was the most effective technique for buccal soft tissue dehiscence coverage in the medium and long term. In terms of increasing soft tissue thickness, both connective tissue graft and acellular dermal matrix demonstrated satisfactory short-term outcomes; however, their long-term efficacy remains unclear.
Conclusions
Soft tissue augmentation procedures resulted in satisfactory outcomes, in terms of buccal soft tissue dehiscence coverage and soft tissue thickness increase, around single implants in the esthetic area. Peri-implant plastic surgery has improved both the esthetic appearance and quality of life of patients.
期刊介绍：
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research aims to provide open access peer-reviewed publications of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work within all disciplines and fields of oral medicine and dentistry. The scope of Clinical and Experimental Dental Research comprises original research material on the anatomy, physiology and pathology of oro-facial, oro-pharyngeal and maxillofacial tissues, and functions and dysfunctions within the stomatognathic system, and the epidemiology, aetiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of diseases and conditions that have an effect on the homeostasis of the mouth, jaws, and closely associated structures, as well as the healing and regeneration and the clinical aspects of replacement of hard and soft tissues with biomaterials, and the rehabilitation of stomatognathic functions. Studies that bring new knowledge on how to advance health on the individual or public health levels, including interactions between oral and general health and ill-health are welcome.
