Phase:

PHASE4

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare soft tissue volume changes in terms of volume gain and stability around dental implants and PROMS in cases where a sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients referred to Department of Periodontology (CUO) in need of a single implant and need of soft tissue augmentation such as buccal defects, thin biotype, lack of keratinized tissue and aesthetic compromised situation.
  • The patient must be ≥18 years and able to understand the nature of the proposed surgery and must sign an informed consent.
  • The implant must be located between 2 fixed reference points (i.e. clinical crowns).
  • Anterior and premolar teeth (from premolar to premolar).
  • Enough crestal bone width to leave a minimum thickness of 2mm at the buccal bone plate when placing the implant.
  • Palate must have ≥2mm of thickness at premolar area.
  • Full mouth plaque and bleeding score \<20%.

Exclusion

  • Pregnant or lactation.
  • Active periodontal disease.
  • Previous soft tissue augmentation in the area.
  • Need of guided bone regeneration (GBR) during or after the placement of the implant.
  • Heavy smokers (\> 10 cigarettes per day).
  • Local or systemic conditions that would interfere with routine periodontal therapy (non-controlled diabetes mellitus, cancer, HIV, Chronic High dose steroid therapy, bone metabolic diseases, radiation, immunosuppressive disorders, liver function disorder, immunosuppressant disease, autoimmune disease).
  • Allergy to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
  • Patients taking medications that cause gingival enlargement.
