AB - CI‐047 E‐Poster in Clinical InnovationsCervera Maillo Jose Manuel, Morales Schwarz David, Morales HildeSpainBackgroundThere is no clear scientific evidence of which is the best treatment for peri‐implantitis. We propose a new approach in the treatment of mucositis and peri‐implantitis by adding an epithelial tissue graft. The aim is to give biological tissue stability that remain in time favoring balance and resetting the biological width complex. We document the phenomena “creeping attachment” around implants in which the gingiva creeps over the exposed implant neck, producing a mean tissue gain of more than 2 mm.Aim/HypothesisThe aim of this study is to prove if an increase of the keratinized mucosa improves the clinical and radiographic parameters of the peri‐implant diseases evaluating it at the 6 and 12 months after the treatment.Material and MethodsThirty‐two patients with clinical and radiographical signs of peri‐implantitis and <2 mm of keratinized attached mucosa fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The procedure is performed by doing a vestibuloplasty, fixing all the mobile tissue apically, using soft tissue microscrews and grafting the exposed area with a palatal free gingival graft of keratinized mucosa fixed with self tapping microscrews. Patients were reviewed at 10 days, 1 month, 6 month and 1 year. Persistence of clinical signs of peri‐implantitis. recession
