Zusammenfassung der Studie

Soft tissue deficits can be reconstructed using substitute materials. These substitute materials are placed in a previously prepared tissue pocket and the adjacent gingival tissue is sutured over it. The amount of substitute material used and the tension on this wound closure through sutures are very individual and vary depending on the situation. We believe that too much tension on the wound closure leads to a poorer volume gain and increases the risk of wound healing complications. Ideally, the surgery should be performed in such a way that the adjacent tissue is well mobilized to create as much space as possible for the substitute material. Subsequently, an adjusted amount of substitute material must be introduced to maximize volume without generating excessive tension on the wound closure. It is a complex issue and several factors are responsible for success. The aim of this study is to explore the relationships between these factors.
