Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the influence of two different flap designs (envelope Coronally Advanced Flap (eCAF) and Modified Tunnel Technique (MTT)) with the addition of a connective tissue graft (CTG) in treating soft tissue dehiscences at implant sites

Detailed description

The primary aim is to compare the test and control groups in terms of: 1. mean mid-facial recession coverage (mRC) measured as a percentage 2. the keratinized tissue (KT) gain measured in mm 3. the keratinized tissue thickness (KTT) gain measured in mm. The secondary aims are to compare the two groups in terms of: 1. Esthetic score, using numeric values from 0 to 10 2. patient-reported esthetics, using numeric values from 1 to 5 3. patient-reported post-operative pain, based on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scale, measured as numbers from 0 to 10.

Conditions

• Dental Implants

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Mucogingival surgery	The gingiva around the mucosal recession at implant site will be coronally positioned by releasing the underlying mucosa
