Gain of Keratinized Mucosa Around Teeth and Dental Implants Using a Combination of Strip Gingival Graft and Acellular Dermal Matrix

Description

This study is to compare the two techniques to achieve change in the tissue quality at areas of lack of Keratinized Tissue (KT) using soft tissue grafting with autogenous graft material (Free Gingival Graft)(FGG) vs Strip gingival graft with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) (SGG+ADM).

Conditions

Gingival Recession, Lack of Keratinized Attached Peri-implant Mucosa, Thin Gingiva
