Analysis of the periimplant tissue of craniofacial implants by sulcus fluid flow rate (SFFR).

Statement Of Problem: The tissue surrounding craniofacial implants is prone to inflammation; however, no adequate instrument is currently available to measure this objectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the parameters influencing the sulcus fluid flow rate in the extraoral periimplant tissue environment.

Material And Methods: Thirty-four patients with 112 craniofacial implants participated.
