Dimensional soft tissue changes following soft tissue grafting in conjunction with implant placement or around present dental implants: a systematic review

ConclusionsThe present systematic review discovered that connective tissue grafts enhanced keratinised mucosa width and soft tissue thickness for an observation period of up to 48 months. However, some shrinkage may occur, resulting in decreases in soft tissue, mostly for the first three months. Further investigations using accurate evaluation methods need to be done to evaluate the appropriate time for grafting. (Source: Clinical Oral Implants Research)
