Volumetric and Clinical Evaluation of Peri-implant Soft Tissue Augmentation in Different Sites After Laser-aided Pouch Roll Technique: a Prospective Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating volumetric evaluation of gingival augmentation around dental implants for Atrophy of Gingiva. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this observational prospective study is to objectively assess the dimensional (volume \& linear variance) and clinical changes of vestibular gingival soft tissues upon treatment with laser-aided pouch roll augmentation technique and implant placement over a 12-month follow-up. Twelve patients with 16 mild horizontal ridge deficiencies in different edentulous sites scheduled for implant placement were enrolled. Digital impressions were taken with an intra-oral laser scanner and software and analyzed before (day 0) and 12 months after laser-aided pouch roll augmentation surgery. The digital files were converted to STL format and superimposed to assess peri-implant volumetric and linear dimensional variations in selected regions of interest (ROI) by a 3D analysis software. Operator-assessed clinical periodontal parameters (probing depth PD, bleeding on probing BoP, plaque index PI) were recorded. Patient-reported outcome (pain, discomfort, treatment liking) and aesthetic result were evaluated by administration of appropriate questionnaires.
