Summary

There is general agreement that a thick zone of the keratinized tissues around implants promotes accurate prosthetic procedures, permits oral hygiene maintenance, resists recession, and enables esthetic blending with surrounding tissues. A new procedure called Choukroun's technique has been suggested, and it consists of a combination of horizontal apical mattress suture with regular suture to increase the keratinized tissue in the mandibular arch during the first stage after implantation. The proposed procedure has not been evaluated yet in a cohort of patients. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of Choukroun's technique on the width and thickness of the keratinized gingiva after oral surgery.
