Summary

Background: To our knowledge, no study evaluated the use of VCMX at multiple implant sites and compared its efficacy and safety to a SCTG with the same dimensions. Therefore, we propose in the present protocol to evaluate the efficacy of VMCX to increase the thickness and height of soft tissue when placed at the time of multiple implant placement, as compared to SCTG. Material and Methods: This study will be conducted in the saint joseph university periodontology department on at least 5 to 10 patients. The studied sites are the edentulous posterior mandible in a split-mouth model. The test groups are the groups grafted with VCMX and the control groups are the groups grafted with SCTG. Some studies have been reported to compare these two techniques. But the specificity of our study is soft tissue augmentation on multiple implant sites in a split-mouth design.

Conditions

• Soft Tissue Thickness Arround Implants

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	dental implant	we placed our implants and simultaneously grafted either fibroguide or CTG and after 3 months we did the second stage surgery
PROCEDURE	Fibrogide membrane	we were comparing the efficacy of Fibrogide with the Connective tissue graft
PROCEDURE	connective tissue graft	the control group was the connective tissue graft group and the test group was the Fibrogide group
PROCEDURE	second stage	second stage to determine the thickness gained after the graft and to place a healing abutment
