Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

De-epithelized connective tissue graftSub-epithelized connective tissue graft

De-epithelized connective tissue graft: A free gingival graft will be harvested, de-epithelialized extra-orally, producing a 1.5 mm thick connective tissue graft. The graft will be inserted into the buccal pouch and will be sutured with resorbable sutures. Gel foam will be placed in the donor site and sutured, with a stent fixed in place.

Sub-epithelized connective tissue graft: A free gingival graft will be harvested,and sub-epithelized intra-orally, producing a 1.5 mm thick connective tissue graft. The graft will be inserted into the buccal pouch and will be sutured with resorbable sutures. Gel foam will be placed in the donor site and sutured, with a stent fixed in place.

Study summary

Implant dentistry has become a fundamental aspect of modern dental practice, with its success now determined by more than just Osseo integration. Various factors play a critical role in the long-term success of dental implants, one of the most important being the stability of the peri-implant soft tissues, which are essential for maintaining both function and aesthetics. This study aims to compare the outcomes of sub epithelial connective tissue grafts and de-epithelialized connective tissue grafts in conjunction with delayed implant placement.
