Abstract
BACKGROUND The peri-implant soft tissue phenotype (PSP) encompasses the keratinized mucosa width (KMW), mucosal thickness (MT) and supracrestal tissue height (STH). Numerous PSP approaches to augment soft tissue volume around endosseous dental implants have been investigated. To what extent PSP modification is beneficial for peri-implant health has been subject of debate in the field of implant dentistry. AIM The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the evidence regarding the efficacy of soft tissue augmentation procedures aimed at modifying the PSP and their impact on peri-implant health. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive search was performed to identify clinical studies that involved soft tissue augmentation around dental implants and reported findings on KMW, MT and/or STH changes. The effect of the intervention on peri-implant health was also assessed. Selected articles were classified based on the general type of surgical approach to increase PSP, either bilaminar or an apically positioned flap (APF) technique. A network meta-analysis including only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting on PSP outcomes was conducted to assess and compare different techniques. RESULTS A total of 52 articles were included in the qualitative analysis, and 23 RCTs were included as part of the network meta-analysis. Sixteen RCTs reported the outcomes of PSP modification therapy with bilaminar techniques, while 7 involved the use of APF. The analysis showed that bilaminar techniques in combination with soft tissue grafts (connective tissue graft [CTG], collagen matrix [CM] and [ADM]) resulted in a significant increase in MT compared to non-augmented sites. In particular, CTG and ADM were associated with higher MT gain as compared to CM and non-augmented sites. However, no significant differences in KMW were observed across different bilaminar techniques. PSP modification via a bilaminar approach utilizing either CTG or CM showed beneficial effects on marginal bone level stability. APF-based approaches in combination with free gingival graft (FGG), CTG, CM or ADM showed a significant KMW gain compared to non-augmented sites. However, compared to APF alone, only FGG exhibited a significantly higher KMW gain. APF with any evaluated soft tissue graft was associated with probing depth, soft tissue dehiscence and plaque index reduction compared to non-augmented sites. The evidence regarding the effect of PSP on peri-implant marginal bone loss or preservation is inconclusive. CONCLUSIONS Bilaminar approach involving CTG or ADM obtained the highest amount of MT gain, while APF in combination with FGG was the most effective technique for increasing KMW. KMW augmentation via APF was associated with a significant reduction in probing depth, soft tissue dehiscence and plaque index, regardless of the soft tissue grafting material employed, while bilaminar techniques with CTG or CM showed beneficial effects on marginal bone level stability.

BACKGROUND: The periodontal phenotype consists of the bone morphotype, the keratinized tissue (KT) and gingival thickness (GT). The latter two components, overlying the bone, constitute the gingival phenotype (GP). Several techniques have been proposed for enhancing or augmenting KT or GT. However, how phenotype modification therapy (PMT) affects periodontal health and whether the obtained outcomes are maintained over time have not been elucidated. AIM: The aim of the present review was to summa...

BACKGROUND: The anatomy of soft tissues around dental implants is extremely important to prevent inflammatory periimplant diseases and ensure healthy, stable and long-term survival of a dental implant. Various methods and materials for increasing the physiological thickness of tissues have been described including connective tissue graft (CTG) and xenogenic collagen matrix (XCM). While assessing various materials it is necessary to establish objective measurement method to determine the minimum ...

This case report aimed to describe a soft tissue approach to restore a buccal soft tissue dehiscence (BSTD) combined with the loss of peri-implant papillae and loss of periodontal attachment on the adjacent teeth. The first step of the proposed approach was the removal of the crown and abutment to leave the interproximal soft tissue to fill the space previously occupied by the crown. After 3 months, during which time the patient was wearing a provisional restoration (a temporary Maryland bridge)...

AIM: To assess mid-term clinical, radiographic and profilometric outcomes at implant sites, previously grafted with a volume-stable collagen matrix (VCMX) or an autogenous subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG). METHODS: VCMX or SCTG were randomly applied to single implant sites in 20 patients. Following abutment connection and insertion of final reconstructions (baseline), patients were re-examined at 6 months (6M), at 1 year (FU-1) and at 3 years (FU-3). Measurements included: clinical d...

Abstract Purpose The health of peri-implant tissues is associated with peri-implant soft tissue thickness (STT) and keratinized tissue width (KTW). Resorptive changes in the crestal bone around implant sites are affected by STT. This randomized prospective study aimed to compare the effectiveness of titanium-prepared platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF) with connective tissue graft (CTG) on peri-implant soft tissue thickening, keratinized mucosa width, and crestal bone level. Materials and Methods Throu...

Volume-stable collagen matrices (VSCM) are conductive for the connective tissue upon soft tissue augmentation. Considering that collagen has osteoconductive properties, we have investigated the possibility that the VSCM also consolidates with the newly formed bone. To this end, we covered nine rat calvaria circular defects with a VSCM. After four weeks, histology, histomorphometry, quantitative backscattered electron imaging, and microcomputed tomography were performed. We report that the overal...
