On this week’s episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition, Katrina Sanders, continues her discussion around dental implants, today diving into Peri-Implant Disease!
Quotes:
“We do typically find that the width or the thickness of keratinized mucosa on the buckle or facial side of teeth is, as a rule, about a millimeter greater than what we typically see at Peri-implant sites.”
“About a week after a dental implant is loaded, microscopically, we can already start to see fingerlike projections of woven bone around that clot of vasculature that forms.”
