Evaluation of Geistlich Fibro-Gide® in Comparison to CTG for the Treatment Around Implants

The treatment site is accessed using a full thickness flap extending at least 1 full tooth mesial and distal, vertical releasing incisions may be used to obtain flap release for full coverage of the treatment site and graft without compression. The harvest graft donor area will be the palate in the bicuspid region on the same side as the control soft tissue augmentation therapy. The CTG will be harvested using full thickness incisions that include the periosteum and will be closed using suture and coating the incision line with a tissue adhesive. No covering stents or packs should be employed. The CTG will be sling sutured in place and the flap secured using a double sling suturing technique.

The treatment site is accessed using a full thickness flap extending at least 1 full tooth mesial and distal, vertical releasing incisions may be used to obtain flap release for full coverage of the treatment site and matrix without compression. Geistlich Fibro-Gide® is cut to shape to the treatment site and placed dry into the site. The flap is secured using a double sling suturing technique.
