  • Title: The role of keratinized tissue and attached gingiva in maintaining periodontal/peri-implant health.
    Author: Marquez IC.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2004; 52(1):74-8; quiz 79. PubMed ID: 15055675.
    Abstract:
    Although the band of keratinized tissue and attached gingiva is determined genetically, it may be affected by the presence of plaque-associated inflammation or by the action of certain mechanical interventions. This article reviews variations in the width of keratinized tissue and attached gingiva and their clinical significance regarding periodontal/peri-implant health.
