Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess gingival thickness at the mandibular incisors using two different probes to determine if they can serve as reliable diagnostic tools.
- A total of 200 participants were measured for gingival tissue thickness by evaluating the translucency of a standard periodontal probe and a color-coded probe.
- Results showed a significant agreement (up to 74%) between the two methods, indicating they yield comparable measurements, although the color-coded probe was not always effective in categorizing gingival phenotype in about 25% of cases.
The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the implant failure rate, not due to peri-implantitis, in periodontally compromised patients rehabilitated with at least one dental implant placed in a specialist university setting over the last 18 years. Records of patients receiving dental implants at the Department of Periodontology, University of Bern, Switzerland, between 2005 and 2022 were analyzed. Data on 1821 patients with 2639 implants were retrieved.

We investigated tissue integration of an engineered porous collagen-elastin scaffold developed for soft tissue augmentation. After implantation in maxillary submucosal pouches in 6 canines, cell invasion (vimentin), extracellular matrix deposition (collagen type I) and scaffold degradation (cathepsin k, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), CD86) were (immuno)-histochemically evaluated.
