In the right side of the mandible (Test), flaps were first elevated, and the buccal as well as part of the lingual masticatory mucosa was removed. An incision of the periosteum at the buccal aspect was performed to allow the flap to be coronally repositioned. Primary wound closure was obtained. In the left side, the masticatory (keratinized) mucosa was left <jats:italic>in situ,<\/jats:italic> and no sutures were applied (Control).<\/jats:p><jats:p>After 3\u00a0months of healing, absence of keratinized mucosa was confirmed at the test sites. Two recipient sites were prepared at each side of the mandible in the region of the third and fourth premolars. All implants were installed with the shoulder placed flush with the buccal alveolar bony crest, and abutments were connected to allow a non\u2010submerged healing. Two free gingival mucosal grafts were harvested from the buccal region of the maxillary canines. One graft was left intact (gingival mucosal graft), while for the second, the epithelial layer was removed (gingival connective tissue graft). Subsequently, the grafts were fixed around the test implants in position of the third and fourth premolars, respectively. After 3\u00a0months, the animals were euthanized and ground sections obtained.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Similar bony crest resorption and coronal extension of osseointegration were found at test and control sites.

This resulted in outcomes that were similar to those at implants surrounded by masticatory mucosa, indicating that gingival grafting in the absence of keratinized mucosa around implants may reduce the resorption of the marginal crest and soft tissue recession.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/clr.12280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,24]],"date-time":"2013-10-24T08:32:20Z","timestamp":1382603540000},"page":"176-182","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Dimensional changes in soft tissues around dental implants following free gingival grafting: an experimental study in dogs"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Franco","family":"Bengazi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry University of Medical Science La Habana Cuba"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Niklaus P.","family":"Lang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry The University of Hong Kong Hong Kong China"},{"name":"Center for Dental Medicine University of Zurich Zurich Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marino","family":"Caroprese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry University of Medical Science La Habana Cuba"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joaquin","family":"Urbizo Velez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry University of Medical Science La Habana Cuba"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vittorio","family":"Favero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private practice Treviso Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniele","family":"Botticelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry University of Medical Science La Habana Cuba"},{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry The University of Hong Kong Hong Kong China"},{"name":"Faculdade de Odontologia de Ara\u00e7atuba UNESP \u2010 Universidade Estadual Paulista Paulista SP Brasil"},{"name":"ARDEC Ariminum Odontologica Rimini Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0300-9785(86)80010-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","first-page":"94","article-title":"The longitudinal effectiveness of osseointe grated dental implants.
