Buccal Graft + Collagen Matrix Versus Free Gingival Graft for Keratinized Mucosa Augmentation at Implant Sites
Sponsor: Harvard Medical School (HMS and HSDM)
Summary
The study aims at comparing two different approaches for soft tissue augmentation at implants lacking keratinized and adherent mucosa width: the free gingival graft (FGG) vs the Buccal Strip Graft in combination with a xenogeneic collagen matrix (BSG + CM)
