Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of visual assessment of mucosal transparency using a standard periodontal probe (VAT) to differentiate between thin and thick peri-implant mucosal phenotypes, compared to horizontal transmucosal probing (HTP). A secondary objective was to assess facial mucosal thickness (FMT) threshold values for peri-implant mucosa phenotype classification. METHODS: Adult...
