Vestibuloplasty and its impact on the long-term survival and success of dental implants in irradiated and non-irradiated patients after head and neck tumor therapy: a retrospective study. Clin Oral Investig 2023; 27:4695-4703. [PMID: 37330421 PMCID: PMC10415447 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05096-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the influence of vestibuloplasty on the clinical success and survival of dental implants in head and neck tumor patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective single-center study was conducted. All patients received surgical therapy of a tumor in the head or neck and underwent surgical therapy and, if necessary, radiotherapy/radiochemotherapy. Patients with compromised soft tissue conditions received vestibuloplasty using a split thickness skin graft and an implant-retained splint. Implant survival and success and the influence of vestibuloplasty, gender, radiotherapy, and localizations were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 247 dental implants in 49 patients (18 women and 31 men; mean age of 63.6 years) were evaluated. During the observation period, 6 implants were lost. The cumulative survival rate was 99.1% after 1 year and 3 years and 93.1% after 5 years for patients without vestibuloplasty, compared to a survival and success rate of 100% after 5 years in patients with vestibuloplasty. Additionally, patients with vestibuloplasty showed significantly lower peri-implant bone resorption rates after 5 years (mesial: p = 0.003; distal: p = 0.001). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates a high cumulative survival and success rate of dental implants after 5 years in head and neck tumor patients, irrespective of irradiation. Patients with vestibuloplasty showed a significantly higher rate of implant survival and significantly lower peri-implant bone resorption after 5 years. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Vestibuloplasty should always be considered and applied if required by the anatomical situations to achieve high implant survival/success rates in head and neck tumor patients.

Abstract
RATIONALE With respect to improving the quality of oral rehabilitation, the management of keratinized mucosa is as important as bone condition for implant success. To enhance this management, a natural teeth-retained splint based on a patient-specific 3-dimensional (3D) printed mandible was used in vestibuloplasty to provide sufficient keratinized mucosa around dental implants to support long-term implant maintenance. PATIENT CONCERNS A 28-year-old male patient had a fracture of the anterior andible 1 year ago, and the fracture was treated with titanium. DIAGNOSES The patient had lost mandibular incisors on both the sides and had a shallow vestibule and little keratinized mucosa. INTERVENTIONS In the first-stage implant surgery, 2 implants were inserted and the titanium fracture fixation plates and screws were removed at the same time. During second-stage implant surgery, vestibuloplasty was performed, and the natural teeth-retained splint was applied. The splint was made based upon a patient-specific 3D-printed mandible. At 30-day follow-up, the splint was modified and reset. The modified splint was removed after an additional 60 days, and the patient received prosthetic treatment. OUTCOMES After prosthetic treatment, successful oral rehabilitation was achieved. Within 1 year and 3 years after implant prosthesis finished, the patient exhibited a good quantity of keratinized gingiva. LESSONS SUBSECTIONS The proposed splint is a simple and time-effective technique for correcting soft tissue defects in implant dentistry that ensures a good quantity of keratinized mucosa.

Expansion of the peri-implant attached gingiva with a three-dimensional collagen matrix in head and neck cancer patients-results from a prospective clinical and histological study. Clin Oral Investig 2016; 21:1103-1111. [PMID: 27306889 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-016-1868-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2016] [Accepted: 06/01/2016] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Attached peri-implant gingiva has proven to have an influence on the long-term stability of dental implants. In patients with head and neck cancer, a functional peri-implant gingiva is even more of critical importance. The aim of the presented prospective study was to investigate a three-dimensional xenogeneic collagen matrix for augmentation around dental implants in patients with former head and neck cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eight patients presenting with insufficient peri-implant gingiva underwent vestibuloplasty on 51 implants using a xenogeneic collagen matrix. The clinical performance and the shrinking tendency of the matrix were analyzed in a cohort study. Furthermore, eight biopsies from the augmented regions were examined histologically to determine the biomaterial-related tissue reaction. RESULTS Initially after vestibuloplasty, a mean width of attached gingiva of 4.4 ± 0.94 mm could be achieved. At clinical follow up investigation 6 months after vestibuloplasty, a mean width of 3.9 ± 0.65 mm attached peri-implant gingiva with a mean shrinking tendency of 14 % could be detected. Histological analysis of the biopsies revealed a well integrated collagen22 matrix covered with epithelium. Within the compact layer, mononuclear cells were observed only, while the spongious layer was infiltrated with a cell-rich connective tissue. CONCLUSION Within its limits, the presented study revealed that the investigated collagen matrix is suitable to enlarge the peri-implant attached gingiva in head and neck cancer patients without adverse reactions or a multinucleated giant cell-triggered tissue reaction. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The application of the investigated three-dimensional collagen matrix in vestibuloplasty achieved a sufficient amount of peri-implant attached gingiva in head and neck cancer patients. The favorable tissue reaction and the low shrinking tendency make the collagen matrix a promising alternative to autologous tissue grafts.

Concomitant Correction of a Soft-Tissue Fenestration with Keratinised Tissue Augmentation By Using A Rotated Double-Pedicle Flap During Second-Stage Implant Surgery- A Case Report. J Clin Diagn Res 2016; 9:ZD16-9.

Abstract
Soft tissue deficiencies and defects around dental implants have been observed frequently. Soft-tissue defects after implant procedures originate from the process of modelling of periimplant mucosa and often cause aesthetic disharmony, food debris accumulation and soft tissue shrinkage. Periimplant mucogingival surgery focuses on creating an optimum band of keratinized tissue resulting in soft tissue architecture similar to the gingiva around natural teeth. A 23-year-old male reported to the Department of Periodontology with a complaint of gum soreness, foul smell and food accumulation at a site where a 3.75 x 11.5mm implant was placed previously. On clinical examination, fenestration of tissue above the cover screw was observed and there appeared to be a keratinized tissue of 1mm surrounding the implant. The case was managed by use of a rotated double-pedicle flap during second-stage implant surgery to correct the soft-tissue fenestration defect and to obtain a keratinized periimplant soft tissue. A periosteal bed was prepared by giving a horizontal incision at the mucogingival junction to a depth of 4 mm. Two split-thickness keratinized pedicles were dissected from the mesial and distal interproximal tissues near the implant. After rotation, both the pedicles were sutured to each other mid-buccally and the pedicles were rigidly immobilized with sutures. At 1 month, there was a 3mm band of stable and firm keratinized tissue over the underlying tissues. The procedure resulted in an aesthetic improvement due to enhanced soft tissue architecture and optimum integration between the peri-implant soft tissue and the final prosthesis.
