Analysis of clinical parameter and tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels on keratinized tissue around implant and tooth.

Background: Studies have shown the importance of keratinized tissue around implants to prevent peri-implant diseases. This study aims to analyze the correlation of keratinized tissue around implants and teeth with clinical parameter scores and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study of 20 adults with 20 dental implants and 20 contralateral teeth that have functioned suprastructurally for more than 3 months without any systemic diseases.
