Abstract
Modern implantology has been focused on the peri-implant mucosa maturation patterns, with particular attention on the frontal area, aiming to obtain a functional and aesthetic optimal result. The study analyzed 294 implants, in order to obtain a tridimensional model; the measurements were done with digital 3D technology at one year from the provisional crown placement. All the recorded data were analyzed with Test Pearson 2-Tailed (95% confidence range) by IBM. For the research we measured the width of the peri-implant mucosa, calculated from the implant connection to the buccal mucosa surface on a line perpendicular to the main implant axis. For the height of the peri-implant tissues, we considered as well, the same geometrical line as the apical point of the measure to calculate the perpendicular distance to the most coronal gingival point. The purpose of the following study is to give the guidelines for a correct implant positioning respecting the biological rules, in addition, it analyzes the height/width ratio of the peri-implant buccal tissues between different type of connections and comparing different areas in the oral cavity. The present research compares the ratio between the height/width of the peri-implant mucosa considering the variables of the residual buccal bone and the difference in six implant brand, finding some important relations.
