Behavioral Comparison of Three Different Graft Materials to Increase Soft Tissue Thickness Around Dental Implants.
Spain60 participantsStarted 2021-05-01
Plain-language 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) from the palate, Porcine collagen matrix (CM) or Porcine Acellular dermal matrix (PADM) is used after 3 and 15 months after implant placement.

Inclusion Criteria:
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 Criteria:
* 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.
