Eligibility

Age
18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Age 18 years or older; need for dental implant placement to rehabilitate bilateral single tooth edentulous spaces in the posterior mandible with indication for soft tissue thickness augmentation and a minimum horizontal ridge defect of 1 millimeter; minimum width of 2 millimeters of keratinized and attached mucosa over the ridge; good systemic health; post extraction socket healing period of at least 6 months; absence of previous hard or soft tissue augmentation procedures in the surgical area; minimum ridge width of 7 millimeters and minimum bone height of 9.5 millimeters as assessed by cone beam computed tomography

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Smokers consuming more than 10 cigarettes per day; diabetes mellitus; untreated periodontitis; diseases affecting connective tissue metabolism; chronic use of anti inflammatory drugs antibiotics or bisphosphonates; substance abuse; pregnant women or women planning pregnancy within 4 months after study initiation; history of radiotherapy in the head and neck region; dental implants previously placed in the experimental sites whether exposed or not to the oral cavity; insufficient dental spaces for adequate prosthetic rehabilitation; ongoing orthodontic treatment; oncologic patients or individuals with diseases that prevent the execution of the proposed procedures

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the change in peri implant buccal soft tissue thickness measured clinically and digitally from baseline to 4 6 and 12 months after implant placement and prosthetic rehabilitation using clinical examination and digital analysis expressed in millimeters

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the change in horizontal ridge defect measured clinically and digitally over time using clinical examination and digital analysis expressed in millimeters;To evaluate changes in peri implant clinical parameters including plaque index bleeding on probing keratinized mucosa width and papilla height over time using clinical examination expressed as clinical indices and measurements;To evaluate marginal bone level changes using standardized radiographs expressed in millimeters;To evaluate patient reported outcomes including postoperative pain analgesic consumption oral health related quality of life and patient satisfaction using validated questionnaires and visual analog scale expressed as scores and frequencies;To evaluate surgical time required for each intervention measured during the procedure expressed in minutes;To evaluate the frequency and type of intraoperative and postoperative complications using clinical assessment expressed as frequency and type of events;To evaluate implant survival rate over the follow up period using clinical and radiographic criteria expressed as percentage of surviving implants
