Complications, Adverse Effects, and Patient-Centered Outcomes of Soft Tissue Augmentation Procedures and the Use of Gingival Soft Tissue Substitutes

  • Chapter
Evidence-Based Periodontal and Peri-Implant Plastic Surgery

Abstract

The base of systematic reviews available for gingival recession treatment the use of CAF alone or in association with allogeneic, xenogeneic, or alloplastic biomaterials (e.g., matrix grafts or enamel matrix derivative) has been described as being less painful and more comfortable, due to the need of only one surgical site [1–7]. Conversely, it has been demonstrated that use of SCTG, FGG, and nonabsorbable membranes has been associated with increased morbidity and some complications, such as postoperative pain, bleeding and swelling during the early phase of healing (Fig. 4.1a–c), and membrane exposure/contamination [1–7].
