Difficulties in the Establishment of Peri-implant Soft Tissue Sealing and Improving Strategies

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2021.04.001

Abstract

Abstract: Stable soft tissue sealing around dental implants is essential for the prevention of microbial invasion and the long-term success of implant-supported prosthesis. It is composed of the epithelial attachment and the connective tissue attachment, which are weaker compared with the soft tissue sealing around natural teeth. The sealing is susceptible to detrimental external stimulates and inflammatory peri-implant diseases. Therefore, it is of great importance to promote the establishment of soft tissue sealing for the long-term success of the dental implants. This review will analyze the reasons underlying the difficulty in establishing and maintaining a stable peri-implant soft tissue sealing, and summarize the methods for improving it, so as to provide a comprehensive review for the researchers and clinicians.

Key words: dental implant, soft tissue sealing, epithelial attachment, connective tissue attachment, surface modification
