Clinical outcomes of free gingival graft, xenogeneic collagen matrix, and acellular dermal matrix for peri-implant keratinized mucosa augmentation: a randomized controlled trial

Comparative efficacy of fascia lata allograft, platelet-rich fibrin, and connective tissue graft for peri-implant soft tissue augmentation: a randomized controlled clinical trial

Adequate peri-implant soft tissue thickness and keratinized mucosa width are crucial for implant health and aesthetics. Autogenous subepithelial connective tissue grafts (CTG) are the gold-standard for augmenting thin biotypes, but they require a second surgical site. This trial evaluated whether a human fascia lata al...

Dimensional Changes of the Peri-Implant Mucosa Applying a Suture-Free Wound Closure Using a Healing Abutment Attachment: A Randomised Controlled Clinical Trial.

AIM To compare peri-implant soft-tissue dimensional changes following wound closure using a suture-free healing abutment attachment (HAA) compared to conventional suturing during implant surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients who were randomly allocated to the HAA group (15 patients, 20 implants) or the sutur...

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...

Polymer-Based Biomaterials in Periodontal and Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Augmentation: Biological Rationale, Clinical Applications, and Future Perspectives

Soft tissue deficiencies around teeth and dental implants remain a significant challenge in contemporary periodontology and implant dentistry. These deficiencies influence a number of factors, including esthetic outcomes, peri-implant tissue stability, long-term maintenance, and patient satisfaction. Although autogenou...

Comparison of connective tissue graft using two acellular dermal matrix thicknesses in a modified vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access-based procedure for gingival recession: An exploratory randomized controlled trial.

ObjectiveTo compare connective tissue graft with thick and thin acellular dermal matrices in a modified vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access-based procedure, using gingival thickness at the selected target site 18 months postoperatively as the primary endpoint.MethodsIn this single-center exploratory randomi...
