5-year outcomes after coverage of soft tissue dehiscence around single implants: A prospective cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: Successful aesthetic and soft tissue dehiscence coverage outcomes were well maintained at 5 years. The strict regimen of post-surgical control visits and the emphasis placed on the control of the toothbrushing technique could be critical for the successful long-term maintenance of soft tissue dehiscence coverage results. Conflict-of-interest statement: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
