Semilunar Lingualized Apically Positioned Flap (SLAP) for Peri-implant Soft Tissue Phenotype Modification Therapy Around Mandibular Implants: A Case Report.

Abstract excerpt

Mucogingival deformities around implants are frequent findings in clinical practice and often pre- sent as inadequate keratinized tissue and insufficient mucosal thickness. Phenotype modification therapy can increase peri-implant mucosal thickness and the amount of keratinized mucosa, im- proving the long-term clinical outcomes of implants. The free gingival graft (FGG) is considered the gold standard to increase...
