Brief Summary

Following tooth loss, a considerable reduction in hard- and soft-tissue volume can be expected (Tan WL, et al., 2012), (AraujoMG, et al., 2015). In the anterior maxilla, tissue loss can make future implant restorations more challenging and less predictable in terms of achieving and maintaining favorable soft-tissue-emergence profiles. Even with careful implant planning and placement, marginal gingival recession of 0.5-1 mm has been a common finding with single-tooth implants (Nisapakultorn K, et al., 2010), (Suphanantachat S, et al., 2012). This is partly attributed to bone remodeling after implant surgery, and occurs regardless of implant-placement protocol used (Hof M, et al., 2015).

Study Arms (1)

single am

OTHER

single arm , superiority trial , tunneling technique in connective tissue graft around dental implants

Procedure: connective tissue grafting by Dome Technique

Interventions

The dome technique addresses the placement of the CT, as it is layered over the implant and takes the shape of an inverted dome

Also known as: Dome technique
single am

Eligibility Criteria
