Summary

This study aims to compare soft tissue grafting with acellular dermis at Phase I or Phase II dental implant surgery.

Detailed description

This proposed study would allow us to assess the use of two different timing protocols for soft tissue augmentation in real-world scenarios to improve clinicians' understanding of optimal protocols for soft tissue grafting and their impact on surgical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, and long-term implant health.

Conditions

• Acellular Dermal Matrix
• Alveolar Mucosa

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Phase I dental implant placement with acellular dermis	After dental implant placement, soft tissue augmentation using acellular dermis will be performed
PROCEDURE	Phase II dental implant uncovery with acellular dermis	Dental implant uncovery, soft tissue augmentation using acellular dermis will be performed
