A Randomized Control Trial Testing Connective Tissue Grafts vs. Allograft on Dental Implants

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Dental Implant Soft Tissue Defects in the Anterior Maxilla

In brief

This randomized controlled clinical pilot trial compared the efficacy of two soft tissue grafting methods for correcting esthetic discrepancies associated with non-molar implants in the maxilla. Specifically, it was explored whether defects treated with connective tissue grafts (SCTG) differed in their outcomes from defects treated with acellular dermal matrix allografts (ADM).
