| Abstract | Several soft tissue grafting procedures are currently in use to increase the width of keratinized tissue and for recession coverage around natural teeth and implants. The major disadvantage in use of soft tissue palatal grafts is additional surgical site and patient discomfort that warrants for alternative methods. The use of acellular dermal matrix allograft (ADM) avoids the additional surgical site and discomfort from the large wound at the donor site, also minimizes the morbidity from the additional surgical site. In this reported case, surgical procedure was performed to augment keratinized tissue around implants using ADM allograft. The parameter measured was the width of attached gingiva on the Labial and buccal surface of edentulous area at baseline (before surgical procedure) and 2 months follow-up. Two months after surgical procedure, the dense connective tissue around implants was noticed and the vestibular depth was significantly increased. The epithelial tissue around the implant collar was well established. Current case provides an evidence of successful gain of keratinized tissue around implants using ADM allograft. |
