Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect on soft tissue thickness of placing either a single or double layer of acellular dermal matrix simultaneous with dental implant placement. The hypothesis is that 2 layers of acellular dermal matrix will produce thicker tissues that one layer.
Detailed description
Patients must be greater that 18 years old, not pregnant, and have an edentulous space with a tooth on each side that is treatment planned to receive a dental implant. The primary outcome measure is soft tissue thickness.
Interventions
