Evaluation of Omega Roll Envelope Flap for Soft Tissue Augmentation Around Osseointegrated Dental Implants
24 participantsStarted 2023-11-01
Plain-language summary
Abstract Statement of the problem: Peri-implant soft-tissue augmentation procedures can be broadly divided into two groups, depending on their primary therapeutic objective: (1) Peri-implant soft-tissue phenotype modification and (2) Treatment of peri-implant marginal mucosa defects (PMMDs), also known as peri-implant soft-tissue dehiscences.
Aim of the study: The aim of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of the Omega roll envelope flap (OREF) technique compared to the conventional envelope split-thickness flap technique combined with an autogenous connective tissue graft, in enhancing Peri-implant soft tissue phenotype defined by the gingival thickness, keratinized tissue width, mucosal margin level and interproximal papilla height around implant.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Systemically free patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I. Patients between 18 - 50 years of both genders and able to understand the nature of the proposed surgery and to sign the informed consent. Ability to comply with the study related procedures such as maintaining good oral hygiene and attending all follow-up scheduled appointments. Patients who complained of a single missing tooth bounded with two adjacent natural sound teeth diagnosed with clinical periodontal health. Necessity for soft tissue augmentation in a single tooth gap determined by a concavity that was present in the edentulous area or tissues with thin biotype being ≤2 mm or with inadequate width of ≤4mm. Adequate bone width for implant placement without need for bone augmentation (confirmed by a single pre-operative cone-beam computed tomography) (CBCT).
Exclusion Criteria:
* Previous soft tissue augmentation in the area. Need for major soft or hard tissue augmentation procedures. Smokers. Patients taking medications that might affect the healing of soft and hard peri-implant tissues.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
