Variation of Keratinized Mucosa After Implant Surgery
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Connective tissue graftFlapless
Connective tissue graft: Implants will be placed with a flap and a connective tissue graft.
Flapless: Implants will be placed with a flapless approach
Study summary
The present study will evaluate the difference in terms of keratinazed mucosa (KM) in computer guided implant placement with immediate loading, comparing a flapless approach to flap surgery with connective tissue graft.
