Effects of soft tissue punch size on the healing of peri-implant tissue in flapless implant surgery.
Abstract
The results show that the size of the soft tissue punch plays an important role in achieving optimal healing. The findings support the use of a tissue punch slightly narrower than the implant itself to obtain better peri-implant tissue healing around flapless implants.
