To evaluate the papilla alterations around single-implant restorations in the anterior maxillae after crown attachment and to study the influence of soft tissue thickness on the papilla fill alteration.According to the inclusion criteria,32 patients subjected to implant-supported single-tooth restorations in anterior maxillae were included.The patients were assigned to two groups according to the mucosal thickness:(i) group 1,1.5mm≤fmucosal thicknessf≤3mm;and (ii) group 2,3 mm≤mucosal thickness≤4.5 mm.Assessments of interproximal papillae at the time of crown placement (baseline) and at 6-month postloading (follow-up) were made by two prosthodontists using papilla fill index (PFI).The mean mucosal thickness was (2.49±0.31) mm (group 1) and (3.81±0.31) mm (group 2) for the two groups respectively.A significant difference in PFI between the groups was detected at the baseline (P<0.001).PFI improvements over time occurred after 6-month follow-up irrespective of the groups.When compared to group 1,the likelihood to obtain papilla fill was significantly higher for group 2 with an odds ratio of 6.05 (P<0.001).The interproximal papilla level around single-implant restorations could improve significantly over time after 6-month restoration according to PFI assessment.The thicker mucosa before implant placement implied a more favorable esthetic outcome in papilla alteration.
To evaluate the papilla alterations around single-implant restorations in the anterior maxillae after crown attachment and to study the influence of soft tissue thickness on the papilla fill alteration. According to the inclusion criteria, 32 patients subjected to implant-supported single-tooth restorations in anterior maxillae were included the patients were assigned to two groups according to the mucosal thickness: (i) group 1, 1.5mm≤fmucosal thicknessf≤3mm; and (ii) group 2,3mm≤mucosal thickness≤4.5mm.Assessments of Interproximal papillae at the time of crown placement (baseline) and at 6-month postloading (follow-up) were made by two prosthodontists using papilla fill index (PFI). The mean mucosal thickness was (2.49 ± 0.31) mm (3.81 ± 0.31) mm (group 2) for the two groups respectively. A significant difference in PFI between the groups was detected at the baseline (P <0.001). PFI improvements over time occurred after 6-month follow-up irrespective of the groups.When c ompared to group 1, the likelihood to obtain papilla fill was significantly higher for group 2 with an odds ratio of 6.05 (P <0.001). interproximal papilla level around single-implant restorations could improve significantly over time after 6-month restoration according to PFI assessment. The thicker mucosa before implant placement implied a more favorable esthetic outcome in papilla alteration.
