(FGG) used to augment the keratinized mucosa (KM) around posterior dental implants …

Free gingival graft (FGG) is the gold standard procedure for the reliable augmentation of lost
keratinized mucosa (KM) around dental implants. This conventional surgical approach has …

It is well known that soft tissue quality and quantity around dental implants is of paramount
importance for later peri‐implant health. For this purpose, the clinical and histological …

Background: Different extracellular matrix (ECM)-based technologies in periodontal and peri-
implant soft tissue augmentation have been proposed in the market. The present review …

ABSTRACT Background Xenogenic collagen matrices (XCMs) are gaining popularity for soft
