Phenotype modification therapy (PhMT) can convert thin to thick tissue phenotypes, improving peri-implant health. This therapy supports long-term peri-implant health by preventing recession and creating a stable environment.
Area of Science:
- Periodontology
- Dental Implantology
Background:
- The American Academy of Periodontology convened a workgroup to evaluate phenotype modification therapy (PhMT) for peri-implant health.
- Investigated the conversion of thin to thick tissue phenotypes using PhMT.
Observation:
- PhMT was applied to two dental implant cases using subepithelial connective tissue grafting.
- The therapy aimed to increase peri-implant keratinized tissue.
Findings:
- PhMT effectively increased peri-implant keratinized tissue in both reactive and proactive applications.
- Improved keratinized tissue supports long-term peri-implant health.
Implications:
- PhMT can prevent gingival recession around dental implants.
- This therapy establishes a stable environment crucial for maintaining long-term peri-implant health.
