Brief Summary: Aim

To provide a comparative assessment of the clinical and radiographic effect of porcine collagen matrix when placed buccally at the time of single implant placement in the aesthetic zone vs autogenous connective tissue graft in terms of buccal bone resorption and soft tissue augmentation 6 months post operative Histological assessment and patient reported outcomes were reported
Detailed Description: Introduction The need to restore lost teeth with dental implants is now a daily practice In particular treatments aimed at replacing lost teeth in the upper anterior aesthetic zone are particularly demanding in terms of evaluating functional and aesthetic factors that influence the result In order to successfully maintain the implants in the long term and to ensure aesthetics there must be adequate dimensions of the alveolar crest and especially a satisfactory range of buccal bone in the area of placement There are reports that in areas with reduced width and thickness of soft tissues there is a risk of resorption and further loss of buccal plate after implant placement which can lead to deterioration of aesthetics For this reason soft tissue augmentation using soft tissue grafts may lead to a decrease in buccal bone resorption According to the above it would be of particular interest to investigate the possibility of using a material such as the collagen matrix as an alternative procedure for soft tissue augmentation compared to the conventional use of a subepithelial connective tissue graft which is associated with greater morbidity and complicates the surgical procedure

So the investigators designed a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial of 6 months duration The 36 participants will be periodontally healthy or periodontally treated patients who seek treatment at the clinic of Periodontology and Implantology of the Department of Dentistry Aristotle University ThessalonikiThe participants should have completed Step 1 and 2 of periodontal treatment at least 3 months before being enrolled If periodontally healthy they will have received a session of supragingival removal of deposits and they will be given oral hygiene instructions Patients should need implant reconsruction in the upper anterior esthetic zone without need for a prior bone augmentation procedure to increase the dimensions of the bone substrate After the initial clinical evaluation for the appropriateness of the case a consent form will be signed by the participants and then the patients will be randomized to one of the three treatment groupsIn the control group 12 patients will undergo prosthetically guided implant placement without increasing soft tissue volume In the first experimental group the next 12 patients will receive prosthetically guided implant placement and simultaneous volume increase of the soft tissues with a collagenous matrix of porcine origin Geistlich Fibro-Gide while in the second experimental group 12 patients the volume increase of the soft tissues will be performed with a subepithelial connective tissue graft from the palateThe evaluation of the therapeutic outcome will be based on a clinical parameters bleeding on probing plaque index extent of keratinized gingiva b measurement of soft tissue thickness with an ultrasound device Pirop Ophthalmic Scanner Echoson Company Poland A scan Probe 20MHz c radiographic parameters Cone Beam Computed Tomography immediately after dental implant placement and 6 months postoperatively and d histological examination of the soft tissues during the exposure of the implants at 3 monthsThe tissue biopsy will be taken from the coronal part of the alveolar crest Finally the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire to assess the experience and subjective perception and discomfort after surgical treatmentThe re-assesment in 3 months will include exposing the dental implant and taking the tissue for biopsy Finally at 6 months postoperatively the clinical parameters mentioned above will be evaluated the thickness of the soft tissues will be measured with the ultrasound device and radiographic control with cone beam computed tomography to measure the thickness of the buccal bone plate

Schedule and clinical procedures for both treatment groups
