First-in-Human Study to Investigate the Safety Assessment of Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Regeneration with Micronized-Gingival Connective Tissue: A Pilot Case Series Study
Abstract:Background: We have recently proposed an alternative strategy of free gingival graft (FGG) and connective tissue graft (CTG) using micronized-gingival connective tissues (MGCTs). The advantage of this strategy is that MGCTs from a small piece of maxillary tuberosity can regenerate the keratinized tissue band. However, safety and efficacy have not yet been established in patients. This clinical study was a pilot case series, and the objective was to assess the safety and the preliminary efficacy of MGCTs on per… Show more
