Soft Tissue Reactions
redness, Holgers
At the 10-year follow-up visit, a Holgers 0 score was observed in almost all patients. In only one patient (4.3%), a mild soft tissue reaction (Holgers 1) was observed, which occurred in a group B patient. No soft tissue reactions requiring treatment, also known as adverse soft tissue reactions (Holgers ≥2), were observed. Figure Soft tissue reactions as a percentage of visits according to Holgers classification observed for the study population (groups A, B, and C) throughout the entire 10-year follow-up. Holgers grade 0 signifies normal skin; Holgers grade 1 indicates slight redness; Holgers grade 2 refers to red and slightly moist tissue; Holgers grade 3 means the formation of tissue granulation around the abutment.
