Clinical Observations of Soft Tissue Dimensions Around Teeth and Implants After Free Gingival Graft
By comparing the changes in KTW around natural teeth and implants following FGG to investigate whether there are differences between them and the degree of differences. Additionally, this allows us to explore whether the restorations impact the effect of FGG. This research can assist clinicians in selecting an appropriate amount of soft tissue during surgery to achieve treatment goals, reduce postoperative discomfort for patients, and enhance predictability in clinicians' ability to increase keratinized tissue. Furthermore, by observing changes in the position of GMP around natural teeth and implants, the effectiveness of FGG in root coverage can be understood, thus improving the predictability of FGG for root coverage.
