Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Less crestal bone loss around implants placed in thin mucosal biotype with connective tissue graft  Mucosal biotype will be assessed at baseline before implant placement and 3 months, 6 months and 9 months by transgingival probing in thin mucosal biotype post implant placement with connective tissue graft and crestal bone level will be assessed before implant placement, immediately post implant placement and 9 months using CBCT 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
More crestal bone loss around implants placed in thick mucosal biotype without connective tissue graft  Mucosal biotype will be assessed at baseline before implant placement and 3 months, 6 months and 9 months by transgingival probing in thick mucosal biotype post implant placement without connective tissue graft and crestal bone level will be assessed before implant placement, immediately post implant placement and 9 months using CBCT

Brief Summary  

i)    Rationale: Dental implants are reliable solution for tooth loss, but soft tissue regression, alveolar bone resorption can impact outcome and aesthetics. Research by Berglundh et al. concludes thinner tissues lead to more significant bone loss, while thicker tissues help preserve bone levels. To assure greatest therapeutic benefit, both soft and hard tissue augmentation techniques are used, with autogenous connective tissue grafts (CTG) being the gold standard for soft tissue enhancement due to their biocompatibility and regenerative potential. This study aims to evaluate the effect of CTG on soft tissue augmentation and crestal bone levels[CBL] in different mucosal biotypes during implant placement.


ii) Novelty: Implant placement along with CTG in thin mucosal biotype by Egreja et al 2012 and without in thick biotype and soft tissue augmentation will be assessed. CBL will be assessed in both mucosal biotypes using CBCT - CS Imaging [care stream imaging] version 8.0.


ii)  Objectives:

·   Soft tissue augmentation is assessed in thin biotype with CTG and without in thick biotype simultaneous to implant placement at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months.

·   To evaluate and compare the CBL around implants placed in different mucosal biotype at baseline, immediately after placement and 9 months.

iv) Methods:

Mucosal thickness is assessed via transgingival probing by Dimitrios Kloukas et al 2021 using endodontic spreader and endodontic gauge.  Soft tissue augmentation is evaluated with CTG in thin and without in thick. CBL is assessed via CBCT.

V) Expected outcome:

Minimal soft tissue regression and CBL in thin tissue with CTG as compared to thick tissue alone.

Hypothesis: Placement of a connective tissue graft during implant placement in thin mucosal biotype enhances peri-implant soft tissue thickness and reduces crestal bone loss compared to sites without grafting in thick mucosal biotype.
