Effect of Crestal Soft-Tissue Augmentation Prior to or Simultaneously With Implant Placement on Peri-Implant Tissue Dimensions: Histological Outcomes of an Experimental In Vivo Study.
AIM To histologically assess the effect of the timing of soft-tissue augmentation (prior to or simultaneously with implant placement) and the type of grafting material on peri-implant soft-tissue dimensions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mandibular molars (M1, M2, M3) were bilaterally extracted in six beagle dogs. Eight week...
