Abstrakt: Objective: Our objective was to determine the association between the width of keratinized mucosa (KM) and implant location with the bleeding on probing (BOP) status of the soft tissue around osseointegrated implants. Material and Methods: A total of 172 patients, presenting 635 functioning dental implants was examined. The width of KM, the implant location and the associations of these analysis were divided into four groups. G1 - anterior area with KM ≥ 2 mm, G2 - anterior area with KM < 2 mm, G3 - posterior area with KM ≥ 2 mm and G4 - posterior area with KM<2 mm. Results: There was no statistical significance in any assessment (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The width of KM and the location of an implant have no influence on bleeding on probing around dental implants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
