The mucosal penetration area formed by implant placement is critical problems of dental implant treatment, because epithelial barrier is broken and it can become a source of inflammation. To clarify the influence and risk caused by dental implant treatment in peri-implant soft tissue, we compared to gene expression profile of peri-implant soft tissue and oral mucosal tissue with microarray analysis. Overall design: Both side upper first molars of 4 week-old rat were extracted, and titanium alloy implants were placed only in the left extraction socket. Four weeks after surgery, samples were harvested from left side of peri-implant soft tissue and right side of oral mucosal tissue. Less...
