“Keratinized Epithelium Fusion Signals Optimal Time Point for Early Implant Placement in Animal Study”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38115040

This animal study found that the fusion of keratinized epithelium (KE) indicates an optimal time point for early implant placement, as it corresponds with the formation of highly osteogenic and angiogenic provisional matrix (PM), which promotes successful osseointegration.
