Study Summary

This study was designed to assess peri-implant soft tissue health, volume and marginal stability at implants sites which presented small buccal bone dehiscences (<3mm evaluated in a vertical direction) at the time of insertion. Patients will be then randomly allocated to receive grafting with connective tissue graft or volume stable collagen matrix and evaluated at 3 months after surgery and at 12 months of follow up after crown placement.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Single tooth edentulous space
  • Expected small buccal bone dehiscence (≤3mm evaluated in a vertical direction)assessed according to the prosthetically guided position of an implant of 4 mm indiameter planned using the pre-surgical CBCT
  • Completed non-surgical periodontal therapy (if needed)
  • FMPS and FMBS < 20%

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age < 18 years old
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Heavy smokers (> 10 cigarette/day)
  • Conditions or diseases contraindicating surgical interventions
  • Absence of the expected small buccal bone dehiscence (≤3mm evaluated in a verticaldirection) verified after implant placement
  • Need for bone regeneration at the implant site
