Novel Soft Tissue Augmentation Technique Using Free Gingival Graft Simultaneous With Posterior Mandibular Implant

Sponsor: Misr International University

Summary

Presence of keratinized tissue (KT) around dental implants, plays a crucial role in stability and health of peri-implant tissues. Several studies reported that, minimum of 2 mm keratinized tissue width is required to achieve long-term longevity. Insufficient keratinized mucosa leads to biofilm accumulation, soft tissue inflammation, eventually peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Hence, the aim of the present trial is to evaluate KTW gain, linear and volumetric changes in buccal soft tissue along with hard tissue alterations following implant restoration at sites treated either with delayed implant placement \& simultaneous FGG or the conventional FGG protocol prior to implant placement.
