Egypt26 participantsStarted 2024-11-02
Plain-language summary
The aim of this randomized, controlled, parallel-grouped, clinical trial is to evaluate the width of keratinized gingiva after free gingival graft stabilized by titanium fixation tacs compared to traditional suturing.
Research question:
In patients with inadequate keratinized gingiva undergoing soft tissue augmentation by free gingival graft , will graft stabilization using Titanium fixation tacs affect the amount of keratinized tissue gain compared to graft stabilization using sutures ?
