Summary

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of combining a strip free gingival graft (sFGG) with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) for increasing keratinized mucosa around dental implants. The study compares this combined technique with the conventional free gingival graft (FGG) method through three primary objectives:

1. comparing the increase in keratinized mucosal height at immediate post-op, 1, 3, and 6 months;
2. assessing post-operative pain levels at 1, 3, 7, and 14 days;
3. evaluating soft tissue aesthetic outcomes at 4 and 6 months post-surgery.

Conditions

  • Dental Implants

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Combining a strip free gingival graft (sFGG) with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to increase keratinized mucosa around dental implants

Venous blood is collected using a butterfly needle and 10ml tubes to prepare the PRF membrane. A keratinized mucosa strip of appropriate dimensions is harvested from the patient's palate. The strip free gingival graft and PRF membrane are then sutured and stabilized at the recipient site.

PROCEDURE

Conventional Free Gingival Graft (FGG) to increase keratinized mucosa around dental implants

A surgical procedure where a graft consisting of epithelium and connective tissue is harvested from the palate and transplanted to the peri-implant area to increase the width and height of keratinized
