Soft tissue healing in flapless versus conventional flap implant placement: A longitudinal study

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Soft tissue healing outcomes between flapless and conventional flap dental implant techniques in 310 patients is of interest. Data showed that flapless procedures resulted in faster healing times, greater gingival thickness, reduced pain and lower inflammation compared to the conventional flap technique. Both approaches had similar implant survival rates, but flapless implants had fewer post-operative complications. Patient satisfaction and aesthetic outcomes were significantly better for the flapless group. Thus, we show the clinical preference for flapless implant placement due to quicker recovery and fewer complications.
