Study Summary
This study will compare two commonly used soft tissue grafting techniques (free gingival graft, FGG vs. connective tissue graft, CTG) to augment the soft tissue around dental implants with a lack of keratinized mucosa. To investigators knowledge, these 2 types of grafts have not been compared for differences in clinical (amount of KM increase, tissue thickness increase and esthetics) and patient-centered outcomes (pain, swelling, change in daily activities) in a controlled study.
Primary Outcome
Compare the increase in keratinized mucosa (KM) between two commonly used soft tissue grafting techniques (FGG and CTG) by quantifying KM widths (in mm) at 12 months following soft tissue grafting.
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Free Gingival Graft (FGG)
- PROCEDURE Connective Tissue Graft followed by Laser Gingivoplasty
