A method for digital fabrication of an implant-supported soft tissue graft stent to protect, shape, and ensure intimate adaptation of the complete arch graft to the periosteum surrounding dental implants is described. To fabricate the stent, an extraoral scanner was used to convert the implant ...
It has been said, ‘Bone sets the tone, but tissue is the issue.’ In the field of implantology, while significant breakthroughs have been achieved in hard tissue regeneration, clinicians find it more challenging to handle soft tissue complications around dental implants. Successfully managing soft...
implant survival, it can influence the biological outcome Aim/Hypothesis The primary aim was to evaluate the efficacy of a xenogeneic dermal matrix in the augmentation of peri‐implant mucosa at implant uncovering stage and to compare it to an autogenous connective tissue graft and to a control ...
The case on subepithelial connective tissue graft discusses different therapeutic modalities of soft tissue management for the improvement of the esthetic appearance of implant supported restorations and reviews critical factors that may contribute to peri-implant mucosa discoloration. In the case on ...
Tissue Harvesting: Depending on the type of graft, tissue is harvested either from the palate or adjusted from nearby gum tissue. Graft Placement: The harvested tissue is then carefully stitched into the area where the gum has receded.
Geistlich Fibro-Gide® offers a reliable, non-inferior alternative to CTG in augmenting soft tissue around implants1 Time Saves up to 7 minutes of chair time on average1 Fewer Surgical ProceduresEliminates the need to harvest an autologous graft Patient Satisfaction66.7% of patients prefer ...
No implant was lost during this study. The soft-tissue biotype was thin in 26 of 28 patients and 2 patients as thick categorized. The analysis of the skeletal base morphology showed that 18 patients had a narrow base, 7 patients had a middle base, and 3 had a broad apical base....
Geistlich Mucograft® can be used as an alternative to both a free gingival graft or a connective tissue graft (CTG) for increasing keratinized tissue1-3. Geistlich Mucograft® is also an alternative to CTG for use in recession coverage procedures4-6. Sanz M, et al.: J Clin Periodontol...
Connective tissue grafts are either non-vascularized or vascularized depending on the size of graft required and the vascularity of the recipient bed45,72. The main aim of connective tissue grafts is to help create a stable peri-implant soft-tissue environment and to reconstruct a more natural ...
Considering the bone–tendon/ligament interface alone, repair methods using grafts are not necessarily focused on regenerating the tissue interface, which can lead to compromised graft function and poor long-term clinical outcome (Lu and Jiang, 2006; Mikos et al., 2006). Therefore, the field of...
