Porcine Derma for Soft Tissue Augmentation Around Implants
Sponsor: Universidade do Porto
Summary
Brief description of the study objectives The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the porcine-derived collagen matrix Derma OsteoBiol® for peri-implant soft tissue augmentation. The objectives include: Measuring changes in soft tissue thickness (in 3D) in the buccal region of the treated implants; Analyzing patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), namely pain and impact on oral health-related quality of life; Monitoring the stability of peri-implant tissues and aesthetic parameters over a 12-month period.

Interventions
Soft tissue augmentation with Derma OsteoBiol® around dental implants.
OsteoBiol® Derma collagen membranes will be hydrated in saline before surgery. Using the VISTA technique, a vertical incision apical to the site will be made under local anesthesia, avoiding papillae. A full-thickness flap will be elevated with tunneling instruments. The membrane will be trimmed to fit, placed laterally, and secured with 6/0 monofilament vertical mattress sutures. The incision will be closed with the same suture.
