To Compare Different Soft Tissue Grafts at the Time of Lateral Ridge Augmentation Procedure.
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Bone Graft; Complications, Infection or Inflammation, Ridge Deficency, Dental Implant
In brief
This study will compare two commonly used soft tissue grafting techniques (connective tissue graft, CTG vs Acellular Dermal Matrix, ADM) to augment the soft tissue at the time of lateral ridge augmentation procedure. Following ridge augmentation procedure, most of the times there is a need for soft tissue augmentation to change the quality of the tissue around future implant's site. To our knowledge, the influence of soft tissue augmentation at the time of ridge augmentation procedure has not been tested defects.
