Efficacy of Gingival Grafts During the Implantation Process in the Increasing of Peri-implant Keratinized Tissue Width and Soft Tissues Thickness
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Efficacy of free gingival grafts during in the increasing of peri-implant keratinized tissue width and soft tissues thickness, Efficacy of connective tissue grafts during in the increasing of peri-implant keratinized tissue width and soft tissues thickness, and 1 other intervention for Dental Implants and Transplants. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to compare the changes in the peri-implant mucosa during the application of two soft tissue grafting methods, which are free gingival graft (FGG) and connective tissue graft (CTG) taken from the palatine in terms of the width of the keratinized mucosa and the thickness of the peri-implant soft tissues.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Two vertical incisions will be made in the previously elevated flap against the placed implant , where these two incisions will be 10 mm apart from each other, and the free graft to will be placed in this distance (10 x 10 mm). The graft will be obtained from the donor site (the hard palate), and will be thinned to obtain a regular graft with the required thickness. After that, the graft will be moved to its correct place accurately, while avoiding leaving a distance between the graft and the tissue underneath, and the graft will be sutured well to ensure its stability and correct placement.
Vertical incisions will not be made in the previously elevated flap against the placed implant, where there is no need to suture the flap apically of the grafting place because the graft will be covered with it after fixing it in place. The area will be washed with the serum to remove the clot before fixing the graft.The graft will be obtained from the donor site according to the previously mentioned method. Then the epithelium will be removed to leave the connective tissue underneath, and then the graft will be moved to its place (buccally dental implant site) and the flap will be sutured over it.
The simple suturing of the two surgical incisions will be done after the completion of the dental implant process, with no procedure will be made to improve the quality of the peri-implant mucosa.
