Abstract
Several treatment-oriented classifications for the management of peri-implant marginal mucosal defects (PMMDs) have been published to date. While each classification provides valuable insights into key diagnostic and therapeutic aspects, there is a marked heterogeneity regarding the rec-ommended clinical guidelines to achieve success in specific scenarios. The purpose of this review was to critically analyze and organize the similarities and differences enclosed in the available classifications linked with treatment recommendations on the management of PMMDs at nonmolar single-implant sites with the purpose of providing an overview of recommended interdisciplinary treatment options to facilitate clinical decision-making processes.
