RECRUITING

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

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

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).
