Ikiru Atsuta, Yasunori Ayukawa, Ryosuke Kondo, Wakana Oｓhiro, Yuri Matsuura, Akihiro Furuhashi, Yoshihiro Tsukiyama, Kiyoshi Koyano, Soft tissue sealing around dental implants based on histological interpretation, J Prosthodont Res, 2016.01, Purpose: The aim of this study was to provide an overview on the biology and soft tissue sealing around dental implants and teeth. Study selection: This is a narrative review performed through scientific articles published between 1977 and 2014, indexed in MEDLINE and PubMed databases. The study selected articles that focused on epithelial sealing around dental implant or teeth with cell biology and histology of soft tissue. Results: Implant therapy has been widely applied in dental rehabilitation for many years, with predictable long-term results. The longevity and functionality of dental implants is dependent on both osseointegration around the implant body and the establishment of a soft tissue barrier that protects the underlying hard tissue structures and the implant itself. The health and stability of the peri-implant mucosa also affects the esthetics of the implant. The healing and maintenance of the epithelial and connective tissues around implants are increasingly recognized as being fundamental to implant success. However, there has been little research into the function or formation of the soft tissue seal around dental implants, and the roles of this unique mucosal interface remain unclear. Conclusions: This narrative review explores the extent of the current knowledge of soft tissue barriers around implants from both a basic and clinical perspective, and aims to consolidate this knowledge and highlight the most pertinent questions relating to this area of research.. |
