Impact of the periodontal phenotype in premolar and molar sites on bone loss following full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap: A 1-year prospective clinical trial.

Marginal bone changes in maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth following FTF at 12 months are very minimal, and mainly influenced by bone rather than soft tissue thickness. Overall, FTF does not seem to have deleterious effects on adjacent teeth periodontium.
