Article Synopsis
- The study compares two methods, xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG), for increasing soft tissue thickness at dental implant sites in a sample of 30 patients.
- Results showed that SCTG led to a greater average increase in soft tissue thickness (1.55 mm) compared to XCM (1.18 mm), with SCTG also having a shorter operation time.
- Overall, while SCTG outperformed XCM in tissue gain, XCM may still be a viable option for soft tissue augmentation in certain clinical situations.
