Currently, there is a growing scientific interest in the condition of the soft tissues surrounding dental implants and their impact on the long-term prognosis of implant treatment. Known risk factors for the development of peri-implantitis include deficiency or complete absence of attached keratinized gum in the implant area. Various grafts are used to form a peri-implant “buffer” zone. When planning orthopedic structures on implants, the participation of a doctor – a dental surgeon and an orthopedist – is important. However, there is still no consensus on the required volume of keratinized gum around dental implants. According to numerous authors, it has been shown that dental implants installed in mobile gums often lose epithelial attachment, which subsequently leads to the development of peri-implantitis. Other researchers believe that the absence. There is an opinion that since dental implants with a rough surface are currently used in the vast majority of cases, a thickness of keratinized gum of no more than 2.0 mm is sufficient to form a peri-implant “buffer” zone. Moreover, in its distal sections the density of microvessels is greatest, in the middle sections it is the smallest, and in the frontal sections it occupies an intermediate position. The paper provides an analysis of various methods of mucogingival surgery in the area of dental implants using an allogeneic graft from the fascia lata of the thigh of the Alloplant series.
