[Clinical study of peri-abutment gingiva in patients with subperiosteal implants]

A clinical analysis of the gingival tissues surrounding 17 subperiosteal dental implant posts was made. The clinical phase consisted in: Periodontal probe test locking for bleeding; peri-implant sulcus deep test; and the amount of bacterial plaque test on the subperiosteal post. The results showed clinically healthy tissues surrounding the subperiosteal posts. The presence of bacterial plaque is an important factor in the modification of the clinical inflammation parameters.
