Implants were evaluated using specific peri\u2010implant parameters for bone and soft tissues: probing pocket depth (PPD), modified plaque index (mPI), bleeding on probing (BoP), modified gingival index (mGI), thickness of keratinized tissue (tKT), width of keratinized tissue (wKT), fornix depth (FD), peri\u2010implant bone level (PBL), interproximal bone peaks (IBP), marginal bone loss (MBL), interproximal bone loss (IBL).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 28 patients with 79 implants were evaluated after 3\u2009years of follow\u2010up. The mean value of MBL was 0.70\u2009mm (group A\u00a0=\u00a00.73\u2009mm; group B\u00a0=\u00a00.71\u2009mm), while mean IBL was 0.54\u2009mm (group A\u00a0=\u00a00.64\u2009mm; group B\u00a0=\u00a00.40\u2009mm). The treatment with meshes resulted not inferior to PTFE and their clinical results appeared similar. A strong correlation between PBL and IBP was confirmed.
