This study aimed at evaluating the volumetric changes occurring following implant placement in sites that received Soft Tissue Augmentation (STA) compared to non-augmented sites.
Higher linear dimensional changes were observed for the test group (p < 0.05), while no significant differences were observed in terms of keratinized mucosa width and pocket depth changes between the two groups.
Simultaneous STA with xenogeneic collagen scaffold obtained statistically significant higher volumetric outcomes compared to the non-augmented group.
