Changes in Peri-implant Soft Tissue Thickness with Bone Grafting and Dermis Allograft: A Case Series of 15
Abstract:
Immediate implant placement and provisional restoration has become a popular and well-supported method of tooth replacement in the maxillary anterior dentition. Aside from achieving osseointegration, esthetic demands have grown with better understanding of the behavior of hard and soft tissues following this mode to therapy. Stability of gingival contours, texture of the surrounding tissues, and blending of prosthetic components with the natural dentition are critical for successful outcomes to be maintained long-term. Increasing soft tissue thickness at the time of therapy plays an important role in this regard. A technique combining the proven principles of immediate implant placement and provisional restoration with hard and soft tissue augmentation using nonautogenous materials is demonstrated with comparisons to nongrafted, temporized historical controls.

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...
Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

Bone Matrix
Bone, or osseous tissue, is a connective tissue that has a large amount of two different types of matrix material. The organic matrix is similar to the matrix material found in other connective tissues, including some amount of collagen and elastic fibers. This gives strength and flexibility to the tissue. The inorganic matrix consists of mineral salts— mostly calcium salts—...
