Experience in the use of testicular albuginea allogeneic material processing to change the phenotype of the gum

The work conducted a study of the phenotype of the gum after dental implantation surgery using testiqular albuginea allografts in comparison with dental implantation with apical displacement of the split mucous flap without the use of transimplants. The growth of keratized gum was assessed immediately after surgery and 6 months after surgical treatment. Morphological studies of biopsy tissue samples from the implant projection zone were conducted. The results of microscopic studies and photographing of samples are presented. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that testicular albuginea allografts are completely replaced by a structurally complete connective tissue regenerate, but at the transplantation site, a phenotype of “thin” gum (thickness 1 mm or less) is formed, which, most likely, will not be able to provide adequate protection of the underlying tissues, which will contribute to plaque retention and subsequent inflammation.
