Fascia Lata Allograft Versus Subepithelial Connective Tissue Grafts in the Peri-Implant Mucosal Thickness Enhancement.

Sixteen sites that are indicated for peri-implant mucosal augmentation at the time of implant placement will be selected. Sixteen sites that were met the subsequent inclusion criteria were eligible to contribute in our study were classified randomly by the sealed envelope technique into two treatment groups, 8 sites in each group. Group I (Control Group): Autogenous SCTGs harvested from the palate +dental implants \*. Group II (Experimental Group): FLA \*\*+dental implants. The allocation was withheld from the surgeon (M.H.) until just before the surgical appointment. The clinical examiner (M.S.) was masked to the treatment group for the extent of the study.Three months after implantation, the sites were located, and the thickness of the mucosa will be evaluated using the customized stent. The operculectomy will be performed following the method of Flatebo et al.,22 collecting biopsy specimens of almost constant quality and evaluating clinical thickness without mucosal distortions
