Effects of Keratinized Mucosa Augmentation on Peri-implant Mucositis Treatment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the impact of increasing the width of keratinized mucosa using free gingival grafts on the treatment outcomes of peri-implant mucositis. It involves four groups of participants: those with healthy peri-implant tissues, those with mucositis and sufficient keratinized mucosa, those with mucositis and insufficient keratinized mucosa receiving only non-surgical treatment, and those with insufficient keratinized mucosa receiving both non-surgical treatment and free gingival grafts. Clinical and biochemical parameters will be assessed at multiple time points to determine the effectiveness of the interventions.
