Peri-implant mucosa | Physiological periodontium |
---|---|
Desmosomes and hemidesmosomes of epithelium and junctional epithelium (biological width) are linked with the contact surface | |
Direct bone-to-implant contact | Anchoring system of root cementum, alveolar bone and desmodontic fibers |
Subepithelially more collagen fibers and less fibroblasts/vessels | Subepithelially more fibroblasts and vessels |
Parallel collagen fibers in relation to implant surface | Dentogingival, dentoperiostal, circular and transseptal fiber orientation |
