Patients With at Least Single Missing Anterior Tooth, Thin Gingival Biotype
Conditions
Brief summary
Soft tissue biotype is a critical factor for success of implant in the esthetic zone . Different soft tissue augmentation techniques have been employed to increase soft tissue thickness such as: autogenous grafts, allografts, xenografts and living cellular construct (LCC). Studies showed that, allografts and xenografts were inferior when compared with autogenous graft . However, few studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of soft tissue augmentation with platelet rich fibrin in order to overcome the patient morbidity with SCTG.
Interventions
: Platelet Rich Fibrin for soft tissue augmentation around implant in the aesthetic zone
sub epithelial connective tissue graft for soft tissue augmentation around implant in the aesthetic zone
