The Use of a Novel Porcine Derived Acellular Dermal Matrix (Mucoderm) in Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Augmentation: Preliminary Results of a Prospective Pilot Cohort Study

Table 2

Keratinized mucosa width (KMW) was measured with a periodontal probe (UNC 15, Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) from the zenith of the alveolar ridge to the mucogingival junction and expressed in mm and %. Baseline is defined as secondary surgery and implant uncovering.

Examination Time Point	Mean KMW (mm)	Mean KMW (%)	Intragroup comparison ( p <0.05)

1 month	7.86±3.22	100	p>0.05
3 months	7.03±1.23	89.44	p>0.05
6 months	6.43±1.89	81.80	p>0.05
