Study summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and the function of the collagen Matrix 10808 in humans and to compare it versus the standard therapy, the transplantation of the autologous connective tissue graft. The Collagen Matrix was developed for soft tissue augmentation. It is a three dimensional porous Matrix and consists mainly of Collagen I and III.

Study patients must have a single tooth gap with insufficient soft tissue volume after implant placement. Therefore a soft tissue augmentation will be necessary.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of soft tissue volume augmentation procedures using the autogenous soft tissue graft or the Collagen Matrix 10808 to gain mucosal thickness. Second the safety of the two procedures will be investigated.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Collagen Matrix 10808

    Mucosal split-thickness flap in combination with the Collagen Matrix 10808.

    Device: Collagen Matrix 10808

  • Other
    Connective tissue graft (gold standard)

    Mucosal split-thickness flap in combination with the connective tissue graft.

    Procedure: Connective tissue graft

Interventions

  • DeviceCollagen Matrix 10808

    At the day of the Intervention (day 0) sulcular incisions will be made around the neighbouring teeth and a straight incision from the lingual/palatal line angle of the distal tooth to the lingual/palatal line angle of the mesial tooth. A full thickness flap will be elevated on the lingual side, whereas a split flap will be made at the buccal aspect preparing a soft tissue pouch without the preparation of horizontal release incisions. The Collagen Matrix 10808 will then be positioned in the pouch under the elevated buccal flap. A horizontal mattress suture will be made to immobilize graft to the flap followed by four to five single sutures to close the wound.
