Soft Tissue Augmentation Around Dental Implant

Egypt20 participantsStarted 2019-07-13

Plain-language summary

Patients were randomly distributed into two groups (G1 and G2), all patients were treated by a submerged dental implant protocol and free gingival graft (FGG) harvested from the palate as follows: * Group 1 (G1), received the FGG two months before implant placement. * Group 2 (G2), received the FGG at the time of second-stage surgery (i.e. at the time of healing abutment placement). All periodontal and radiographic assessments were done by the same operator who was neither involved in the evaluation nor the distribution process. The operator did all the evaluation steps and was completely blinded to the treatment protocol.
