: The advantages of immediate implant placement for patients include a reduced number of surgical procedures and a shorter overall treatment time. Disadvantages include a higher risk of aesthetic complications. The aim of this study was to compare xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) versus a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) used for soft tissue augmentation in combination with immediate implant placement without provisionalization. Forty-eight patients requiring a single implant-supported rehabilitation were selected and assigned to one of two surgical procedures: immediate implant with SCTG (SCTG group) or immediate implant with XCM (XCM group). Marginal changes in the peri-implant soft tissue and the facial soft tissue thickness (FSTT) were assessed after 12 months. Secondary outcomes included peri-implant health status, aesthetics, patient satisfaction, and perceived pain. All of the implants placed were successfully osseointegrated, resulting in 1-year survival and success rates of 100%. The patients in the SCTG group had a significantly lower mid-buccal marginal level (MBML) recession (P = 0.021) and a greater increase in FSTT (P < 0.001) than the patients in the XCM group. Using xenogeneic collagen matrix during immediate implant placement significantly increased FSTT from the baseline, leading to good aesthetic and patient satisfaction results. However, the connective tissue graft yielded better MBML and FSTT results.

Abstract
: The advantages of immediate implant placement for patients include a reduced number of surgical procedures and a shorter overall treatment time. Disadvantages include a higher risk of aesthetic complications. The aim of this study was to compare xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) versus a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) used for soft tissue augmentation in combination with immediate implant placement without provisionalization. Forty-eight patients requiring a single implant-supported rehabilitation were selected and assigned to one of two surgical procedures: immediate implant with SCTG (SCTG group) or immediate implant with XCM (XCM group). Marginal changes in the peri-implant soft tissue and the facial soft tissue thickness (FSTT) were assessed after 12 months. Secondary outcomes included peri-implant health status, aesthetics, patient satisfaction, and perceived pain. All of the implants placed were successfully osseointegrated, resulting in 1-year survival and success rates of 100%. The patients in the SCTG group had a significantly lower mid-buccal marginal level (MBML) recession (P = 0.021) and a greater increase in FSTT (P < 0.001) than the patients in the XCM group. Using xenogeneic collagen matrix during immediate implant placement significantly increased FSTT from the baseline, leading to good aesthetic and patient satisfaction results. However, the connective tissue graft yielded better MBML and FSTT results.
