Brief Summary

The main goal of implant therapy is to obtain long-term peri-implant health. Among local risk factors in the etiology of peri-implant diseases the absence of keratinized tissue (KT) around the implant has been reported. In fact, a certain amount of KT width, providing better sensory isolation and, hence, less pain discomfort during brushing, may be useful to facilitate plaque control. A good plaque control should maintain periimplant health during time. A very recent systematic review assessed the effect of soft tissue grafting procedures on peri-implant health, revealing that soft tissue grafting using autogenous tissue for gain of KT results in a significant decrease of PI, BOP and GI values and significantly lower PI and GI values and higher marginal bone levels at the study endpoint compared to maintenance groups.

Maintenance

SHAM COMPARATOR

Oral hygiene instruction and periodontal maintenance

Procedure: Maintenance

Free gingival graft

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After administration of local anesthesia, an intrasulcular incision will be made at the muco-gingival line and a partial thickness flap will be raised and sutured at the base of the newly created vestibule with resorbable mattress sutures. After the completion of the apically positioned flap, patients will receive a free gingival graft (FGG) harvested from the palate, that will be fixed with interrupted resorbable sutures to the recipient periosteal bed, free of any muscle attachment.

Collagen matrix

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After administration of local anesthesia, an intrasulcular incision will be made at the muco-gingival line and a partial thickness flap will be raised and sutured at the base of the newly created vestibule with resorbable mattress sutures. After the completion of the apically positioned flap, patients will receive either a collagen matrix (CM), that will be fixed with interrupted resorbable sutures to the recipient periosteal bed, free of any muscle attachment.
