The excessive vertical soft tissue thickness around implants in patients with history of periodontitis has an adverse influence on health of the peri-implant tissue. This observation raises an important question on the association between vertical soft tissue thickness during implant surgery and history of periodontitis. Effective approaches to prevent the adverse effect of excessive soft tissue thickness on peri-implant tissue are necessary to be further investigated.
