NCT04410614

Brief Summary

For the management of peridontal and peri-implant conditions, free epithelial grafts have been proposed to provide a sufficient band of keratinized mucosa with the goal of enhancing confort during brushing and reducing the level of inflammation. Nevertheless, these are subjected to dimensional changes that may jeopardise the final outcome of providing sufficient keratinized mucosa to teeth and implants. Hence, this prospective study will aim at shedding light on the dimensional changes and the variables affecting these changes.

EXPERIMENTAL

Free epithelial graft at implant and teeth sites to increase the band of keratinized mucosa
