Summary

This study is a comparison of implant placed and simultaneously grafted with either autogenous connective tissue or a connective tissue allograft. The objective is to determine the change in soft tissue thickness and determine if a better result is obtained with the autograft or the allograft. The hypothesis is that there will be no difference in soft tissue thickness over the implant between the autograft and the allograft technique.

Conditions

• Edentulous

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	connective tissue autograft	A connective tissue autograft is harvested from the palate and grafted at the site of implant placement on the facial surface.
PROCEDURE	connective tissue allograft	An acellular dermal matrix allograft (Alloderm, BioHorizons, Inc, Birmingham, AL, USA) is grafted at the site of implant placement on the facial surface.
