Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Group 1 - Control Group  1. Stage 1 Surgery (Implant Placement): Standard surgical protocol is followed for implant placement. A mid-crestal incision is made, and a full-thickness flap is elevated to expose the alveolar bone. The implant site is prepared using sequential drills according to BioHorizons implant system guidelines. The implant is placed in the prepared osteotomy. The flap is repositioned and sutured to achieve primary closure. No use of CGF or additional biomaterials. 2. Stage 2 Surgery (Abutment Connection): After an appropriate healing period (usually 3–4 months), a minor incision is made to expose the implant. The healing abutment is connected. No CGF application during this stage. 
Intervention  GROUP 2  CGF Placed On The Day Of Implant Placement 1.Stage 1 Surgery: Same surgical protocol as the control group is followed up to implant placement. After implant is placed, CGF membranes were prepared and placed over the implant site. The flap is repositioned and sutured to achieve primary closure. 2. Stage 2 Surgery - Abutment Connection: After an appropriate healing period (usually 3–4 months), a minor incision is made to expose the implant. The healing abutment is connected. No CGF application during this stage.  
Intervention  GROUP 3  CGF At Stage 2 With Gingival Former Placement (Sohn’s Poncho Technique) 1. Stage 1 Surgery: The same surgical protocol as the control group is followed. Implant placement is completed, and the flap is repositioned and sutured to achieve primary closure. No CGF is applied during Stage 1 surgery. 2.Stage 2 Surgery: After the healing period (usually 3–4 months), a minor incision is made to expose the implant. A gingival former is connected to the implant. CGF membrane is prepared and shaped into a "poncho" to fit around the gingival former. The CGF poncho is draped around the gingival former and surrounding mucosa. Flap is sutured around the gingival former, securing the CGF in place.

Brief Summary  

SUMMARY:

Rationale/gaps in existing knowledge: The long-term success of dental implants is significantly influenced by the thickness of the peri-implant mucosa. Inadequate mucosal thickness can predispose the implant site to complications such as peri-implantitis and compromise aesthetic outcomes. While Concentrated Growth Factors (CGF) have demonstrated regenerative properties in various dental procedures, their specific role in enhancing peri-implant mucosal thickness at different stages of implant placement has not been thoroughly investigated, indicating a gap in current clinical knowledge.

Novelty: This study introduces a novel approach by evaluating the effectiveness of a CGF membrane in improving both peri-implant mucosal thickness and the width of keratinized mucosa. It also uniquely compares the impact of CGF application when administered at different stages of implant placement, thereby aiming to identify the most beneficial timing for CGF use.

Objectives: The study aims to assess and compare clinical parameters, specifically mucosal thickness and the width of keratinized mucosa, among three distinct groups at baseline, four weeks, and three months. The objective is to evaluate the changes and improvements in these parameters over time following CGF application.

Methods: This is an interventional clinical study involving three groups. The first group serves as the control, receiving no CGF application. The second group receives CGF at the time of Stage 1 implant placement, while the third group receives CGF during Stage 2 implant placement. Measurements of peri-implant mucosal thickness and width of keratinized mucosa will be recorded at baseline, four weeks, and three months to monitor the progression and effects of the intervention.

Expected outcome: It is anticipated that the application of CGF will lead to a measurable enhancement in peri-implant mucosal thickness, with one particular stage of application showing superior outcomes. The findings are expected to offer valuable insights into the optimal timing of CGF application for improving peri-implant soft tissue outcomes.
