ABSTRACT
Our goal was to evaluate the association between gingival biotype and flap design consideration at the time of stage two uncovery. A retrospective study was done in which 528 implants were placed from June 1, 2019, to March 1, 2020, were included. Data was reviewed from patient records, and the data of 86,000 patients that were documented in a private institution between June 2019 and March 2020 was analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the association between gingival biotype and flap design consideration at the time of stage two uncovery. We found that gingival biotype had no significant difference when compared between males and females and among different age groups. Flap design consideration had no significant difference when compared between males and females, but the difference was statistically significant when different age groups were compared. There was a statistically significant association between gingival biotype and flap design consideration at the time of stage two uncovery (p < 0.05). We conclude that there is significant association between gingival biotype and flap design consideration at the time of stage two uncovery. Therefore, it should be one of the factors considered during planning of implant placement in a particular case for successful implant treatment.

Aim - To evaluate association between gingival biotype and soft tissue healing seen one week after implant placement. Materials and Method - A retrospective study was done in which 118 patients who underwent implant placement from June 1 2019 until March 1 2020 were included. Data from 86,000 patient records documented in a private institution between June 2019 and March 2020 was reviewed and analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the association between gingival biotype and soft tissue healing. Results - Gingival biotype had no significant difference when compared between males and females and different age groups. Soft tissue healing had no significant difference when compared between males and females, but the difference was statistically significant when seen between different age groups. There was a statistically significant association between gingival biotype and soft tissue healing (p < 0.05). There is significant association between gingival biotype and soft tissue healing. Conclusion - Soft tissue healing is also related to the age of the patient and is associated with gingival biotype of the patient. Therefore, it should be one of the factors considered during planning of implant placement in a particular case for successful implant treatment.

This retrospective study aims to evaluate the association between submandibular fossa anatomy and implant length in the posterior mandibular region. The study took place from June 1, 2019 to March 1, 2020, during which 295 implants were placed in the posterior mandibular region. Data were reviewed and analyzed from 86,000 patient records that were documented at a private institution. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the association between submandibular fossa anatomy and implant length in the posterior mandibular region. Of the 295 implants, 29.2% were placed in subjects aged 36-45 yr, and 52.9% were male. Of the total population, 52.2% had type P (parallel) submandibular fossa anatomy. The 10-mm implant was the size that was most commonly used (frequency rate, 60.3%). A prevalence of submandibular fossa according to gender showed that 53.8% of males and 50.4% of females had type P (parallel buccal and lingual) plates. A statistically significant difference was found when comparing implant length to different types of submandibular fossa by gender (p < 0.05). And, when association was compared between types of submandibular fossa and implant length, a statistically significant association was found. We conclude that high risk occurs when implants are placed in the mandibular posterior region, because many complications can arise. Proper treatment planning is necessary after complete evaluation using cone-beam computed tomography.
