Influences of standardized clinical probing on peri‐implant soft tissue seal in a situation of peri‐implant mucositis: A histomorphometric study in dogs

Clinical probing is commonly recommended to evaluate peri-implant conditions. In a situation of peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis, the peri-implant seal healing from the disruption of soft tissue caused by probing has not yet been studied. This study aimed to investigate soft tissue healing after standardized clinical probing around osseointegrated implants with peri-implant mucositis in a dog model.
