Interventions

  • Coronal palatal tissue — PROCEDURE
    This group will receive palatal grafts including marginal and interdental gingiva. This coronal palatal tissue will be applied to the peri-implant tissue at the second-stage implant surgery.
  • Apical palatal tissue — PROCEDURE
    This group will receive palatal grafts harvested from approximately 1.5 mm apical to the gingival margin. This graft will be applied to the peri-implant tissue at the second-stage implant surgery.

Study Details

This study aims to evaluate the effects of autogenous grafts harvested from different palatal regions on the peri-implant mucosa when applied during second-stage dental implant surgery. Clinical, radiographic, and digital assessment methods will be used to investigate the early effects of these grafts on peri-implant mucosal width and thickness. In addition, peri-implant tissue health and patient-reported outcomes will be evaluated to compare the effectiveness of the grafting techniques in peri-implant soft tissue management.
