Interventions
The treatment site is accessed using a full thickness flap extending at least 1 full tooth mesial and distal, vertical releasing incisions may be used to obtain flap release for full coverage of the treatment site and graft without compression. The harvest graft donor area will be the palate in the bicuspid region on the same side as the control soft tissue augmentation therapy. The CTG will be harvested using full thickness incisions that include the periosteum and will be closed using suture and coating the incision line with a tissue adhesive. No covering stents or packs should be employed. The CTG will be sling sutured in place and the flap secured using a double sling suturing technique.
The treatment site is accessed using a full thickness flap extending at least 1 full tooth mesial and distal, vertical releasing incisions may be used to obtain flap release for full coverage of the treatment site and matrix without compression. Geistlich Fibro-Gide® is cut to shape to the treatment site and placed dry into the site. The flap is secured using a double sling suturing technique.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subjects requiring soft tissue augmentation around single implants, i.e., thin biotype with potential for
- All implants must be at least 6 months post bone graft/implant placement
- have at least 1 mm of keratinized tissue width (KTw),
- have final restoration permanently in place for at least 4-weeks and
- subject have no recession on the implant body
- Subjects who, can achieve good oral hygiene (80% plaque free surfaces on the implant and maintain 80% plaque free surfaces on teeth adjacent to treatment sites).
You may not qualify if:
- participation within the last six months in other interventional studies.
- any systemic condition that could influence healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus - confirmed by A1C score ≥7% - cancer, HIV, oral muco- cutaneous conditions and drug induced gingival enlargement.
- taking medications that compromise wound healing, such as chronic steroid use - either inhaler or systemic, calcium channel blockers with secondary hyperplastic tissue reactions, anti-seizure medications, IV bisphosphates for bone metabolic diseases, radiation or other immuno-suppressive therapy.
- acute infectious lesions in the areas intended for surgery.
- History within the last 6 months of weekly or more frequent use of nicotine products
- Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating, or sexually active female subjects who are of childbearing potential and who are not using hormonal or barrier methods of birth control
- Untreated, moderate to severe periodontal disease.
