Soft Tissue Augmentation: Thickening

Systematic review evaluating randomised clinical trials evaluating the impact on periimplant health (inflammation, probing depth, crestal bone levels, etc.) of surgical procedures for soft tissue augmentation around dental implants.

Systematic review evaluating randomised clinical trials evaluating surgical procedures for soft tissue augmentation around dental implants, both those aiming to enhance the thickness of the mucosa and the amount of keratinized mucosa.

Systematic review evaluating randomised clinical trials comparing the use of xenogeneic soft tissue substitute biomaterials with autologous connective tissue grafts to enhance the thickness of the mucosa around dental implants.

Prospective case series showing the performance of a xenogeneic collagen matrix when placed together with an immediate implant and a xenogeneic bone replacement graft in fresh extraction sockets. The use of digital diagnostic methods allowed the evaluation of differential hard and soft tissue maintenance of the patient’s contours.

Systematic review evaluating prospective studies using xenogeneic soft tissue substitute biomaterials to enhance the amount of keratinized mucosa around dental implants.

Results from a Randomised Clinical Trial using either a connective tissue graft or a volume stable cross-linked collagen matrix to enhance the peri-implant mucosa thickness and the enhancement of the aesthetic outcomes with implant supported restorations.

Results from a Randomised Clinical Trial using either a connective tissue graft or a volume stable cross-linked collagen matrix to enhance soft tissue augmentation at pontic sites.

Systematic review evaluating prospective studies using autologous and substitute biomaterials to enhance the soft tissue phenotype around dental implants.
