Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft Versus Amniotic Chorion Membrane for Peri-implant Mucosal Thickness Enhancement
The objective of this study will be to assess the efficacy of the peri-implant mucosal thickness enhancement following either subepithelial connective tissue grafts or Amnion Chorion Membrane placed simultaneously with dental implant placement.

Stable periodontal condition and missing one single tooth (maxillary anterior teeth and premolars) with adjacent teeth present and thin mucosal phenotype (< 2mm bucco- lingual thickness).  Exclusion Criteria:  Medically compromised patients and systemic conditions precluding periodontal surgery. Smokers. Severe hematologic disorders (e.g., hemophilia or leukemia), uncontrolled infectious or metabolic diseases that could compromise normal healing, liver, or kidney dysfunction/failure. Patients subjected to irradiation in the head and neck area. Patients treated or under treatment with intravenous amino bisphosphonates. Patient affected by active periodontitis or has poor oral hygiene and motivation. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
