U.S., July 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07056959) titled 'Efficacy of Collagen Matrix for Peri-implant Soft Tissue Phenotype Modification: A Randomized Controlled Trial' on June 29.
Brief Summary: A stable band of keratinized mucosa (KM) around dental implants is thought to minimize tissue recession and provide resistance against mechanical, chemical, and microbial challenges, thereby preserving peri-implant tissue health. Soft tissue augmentation is often employed to enhance the soft tissue phenotype in such cases. While autogenous grafts such as free gingival grafts (FGG) remain the gold standard, xenogeneic collagen matrices (XCM) have emerged as promising alternatives, offering reduced...
