Influence of Timing on the Horizontal Stability of Connective Tissue Grafts for Buccal Soft Tissue Augmentation at Single Implants: A Prospective Controlled Pilot Study

摘要

Purpose: The timing for soft tissue augmentation during implant therapy is still debated. Therefore, the present study clinically evaluated whether immediate versus delayed soft tissue augmentation procedures had an impact on the stability of peri-implant mucosal thickness (PMT).
