Changes in Peri‐Implant Soft Tissue Dimensions Following Soft Tissue Contour Augmentation: A 3‐Year Follow‐Up of a Multi‐Center RCT
Both VCMX and SCTG maintained stable peri-implant soft tissues with minimal contour changes 3 years after implant loading. Clinician-reported outcome-esthetics overall-favored SCTG; however, patient-reported outcomes did not support this finding.
