Clinical Trial: Xenogenic Collagen Matrix vs. Connective Tissue Graft for Soft Tissue Augmentation Around Early Maxillary Implants

U.S., June 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07024186) titled 'Xenogenic Collagen Matrix vs. Connective Tissue Graft for Soft Tissue Augmentation Around Early Maxillary Implants' on May 12.

Brief Summary: This study compares two methods used to improve gingival tissue around dental implants placed in (the maxillary esthetic zone). After a tooth is removed and a dental implant is placed early (usually 4-8 weeks later), additional soft tissue is sometimes needed to ensure the implant looks natural and functions well. The two techniques being studied are:

Subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) - where tissue is taken from the patient's own mouth (usually the palate)

Xenogeneic collagen mat...
