Abstract

The condition of the peri-implant mucosa is critical for the long-term success of endosteal implants. 111 endosteal implants (IMC and Brånemark) were examined to see whether peri-implant gingival attachment to bone and peri-implant inflammatory reactions correlated with implant stability. A direct relation was found exist between peri-implant mucosal attachment and pocket depth around implants, while the severity of peri-implant inflammatory reactions did not correlate with implant stability. But this might be explained by the relatively short implant residence of 5 years at the time of the follow-up study.
