Implant Placement in Horizontally Deficient Maxillary Aesthetic Zone With Simultaneous Soft Tissue Augmentation

Implant Placement in Horizontally Deficient Maxillary Aesthetic Zone With Simultaneous Soft Tissue Augmentation Using De-epithelialized Free Gingival Graft and Its Effect on Esthetics. a Case Series Study

Tooth extraction in maxillary esthetic zone is accomplished with great dimensional changes of the alveolar ridge, different procedures have been tested to compensate these dimensional alteration, such as Hard bone augmentation, Soft tissue augmentation Or augmentation of both together. Hence, the present study aimed to evaluate pink esthetic score, clinical implant stability and bucco-palatal dimensional changes in the maxillary esthetic zone treated by implant placement with simultaneous soft tissue augmentation using de-epithelialized free gingival graft.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient of both sexes with missing teeth in the maxillary aesthetic zone.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with systemic disease that may affect bone quality or bone healing.
