The Effect of Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin in Peri-implant Soft Tissue
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Platelet rich fibrin: The injectable platelet rich fibrin will be integrated into the tissue by subgingival and submucosal application to the keratinized gingiva of the implant sites with insufficient peri-implant soft tissue phenotype. Then, the prepared injectable platelet rich fibrin will be injected into the mucogingival junction apical to the keratinized gingival site. This procedure will be repeated 3 times in total, 1 time in 30 days for 3 months.
Study summary
An inadequate amount of peri-implant soft tissue results in more plaque accumulation around the implants, peri-implant mucositis, marginal bone loss, mucosal recession, and/or attachment loss. In the literature, there are studies evaluating the application of injectable platelet-rich fibrin to the gingiva and oral mucosa around teeth, but injectable platelet-rich fibrin application around implants has not been encountered. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of subgingival and submucosal application of injectable platelet-rich fibrin on peri-implant soft tissue phenotype in patients with inadequate peri-implant soft tissue phenotype.The study will include 80 systemically healthy and non-smoking patients/implants older than 18 years of age with insufficient peri-implant keratinized mucosa width and mucosal thickness who applied to Kütahya University of Health Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Periodontology. There are two study groups according to peri-implant mucosa phenotype: Thin phenotype and thick phenotype. All patients will undergo the same procedure of injectable platelet-rich fibrin application
