Study Summary

This trial compares two methods for treating issues around dental implants, CTG or a collagen matrix+growth factor.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have good oral hygiene and are in general good health. They should have a single dental implant in the front of their mouth with peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences, which they want to treat.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two treatments for aesthetic issues around dental implants: one uses a collagen matrix with growth factor (rhPDGF-BB), and the other uses tissue from the patient's own body.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the graft site, swelling, infection risk, and possible allergic reactions to collagen or rhPDGF-BB.
