Why Peri-Implant Tissues Are Susceptible to Inflammatory Breakdown-Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals Immune Priming in Clinically Healthy Peri-Implant Mucosa and CXCR2+ Neutrophil Activation in Peri-Implantitis.
AIM Peri-implant tissues are more susceptible than gingiva to rapid inflammatory breakdown, but the cellular basis of this vulnerability remains unclear. This study investigated (1) whether clinically healthy peri-implant mucosa already displays an immune landscape distinct from healthy gingiva, and (2) which cellular...
