30

Results

The connective tissue graft around dental implants from the palate or tuberosity had similar clinical outcomes in terms of volume change 6 months after setting the provisional restoration if the graft was harvested from the lamina propria. However, postoperative pain levels were lower with grafts harvested from the tuberosity than with those harvested from the palate.

Baseline Characteristics

A total of 30 participants were enrolled in this study

Participant flow

Participants were first screened for eligibility and provided written informed consent. Connective tissue grafting harvested from palate or tuberosity was performed during the second surgical procedure for implants that had undergone submerged healing. To assess postoperative pain, a visual analog scale, , that is, a horizontal linear scale with"none" on the left side and "worst pain possible# on the right side, was used during the postoperative healing period until the sutures were removed. Forms were marked on the day of suture removal. To evaluate the volumetric changes in soft tissues, impressions of the implant sites, standardized intraoral photographs and radiographs were taken at the time point of provisional restoration provided(baseline), 3months, 6months after baseline, and every 6 months thereafter.
