Gallucci GO, Grütter L, Chuang SK, Belser UC. Dimensional changes of peri‐implant soft tissue over 2 years with single‐implant crowns in the anterior maxilla. J Clin Periodontol 2011; 38: 293–299. 38: 293–299. doi: 10.1111/j.1600‐051X.2010.01686.x. Abstract Objective: To compare the peri‐implant soft tissue dimensions after insertion of single‐implant crowns in the anterior maxilla. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients were accepted according to well‐defined inclusion criteria and randomized to porcelain‐fused‐to‐metal (PFM) or all‐ceramic groups. Follow‐up was at: Baseline (B), Crown Insertion (CI), 1‐year (1Y), and 2‐year (2Y). The following parameters were statistically analysed: distance implant shoulder to marginal peri‐implant mucosa (DIM), papilla height (PH), width of keratinized mucosa (KM), crestal bone level (CBL), full mouth plaque score (FMPS), full mouth bleeding score (FMBS), and probing pocket depth. Results: Between groups measurements for DIM, PH, KM, CBL, FMPS, and FMBS showed no statistically significant differences except the distal CBLs to adjacent tooth. DIM (mid‐facial) decreased from B to CI remaining stable at 1Y and 2Y ( p ‐value 0.0014). DIM mesial and distal aspects significantly increased from B to CI showing signs of stability at the 2Y. PH between B and CI increased at the mesial site and at the distal site, thereafter, peri‐implant soft tissues were stable at the 2Y. Conclusion: The insertion of an implant crown affects the peri‐implant mucosa morphology by an apical displacement at the mid‐facial aspect and coronal at mesial and distal sites.
