Why it matters for dental
Periodontists and implant surgeons should review treatment-planning protocols because a large Norwegian cohort linked specific local factors—soft-tissue phenotype, mucosal margin mobility, connection type, platform switching, and emergence angle—to higher rates of peri-implantitis and soft-tissue dehiscence.
Key points
- Mucosal margin mobility, bone-level implants without platform switching, emergence angle > 45°, anterior implant location, and daily smoking were identified as significant risk indicators for peri-implantitis.
- Thin soft-tissue phenotype, mucosal margin mobility, absence of adjacent teeth, peri-implantitis, and external connection were detected as significant indicators for peri-implant soft-tissue dehiscence.
- Mixed-effects logistic regression models were applied to account for clustering of implants within patients in a randomly selected sample of 242 Norwegian patients with 732 implants placed in 2014.
- Peri-implantitis and peri-implant soft-tissue dehiscence were present in 8.7% and 25.0% of implants, respectively.
