Dental implants are now one of the most useful therapies worldwide with higher rates of success from simple to complex cases, but also, with different results regarding the esthetics, cost and long-term success maintenance. In the beginning, dental implants therapy function and survival was the main goal. Nevertheless, through the years, the success criteria have increased, evolved, and improved beyond function to include esthetic and patient-related outcomes. Parallel to implant therapy, guide bone regeneration and periodontal plastic surgery have also evolved to achieve predictable, functional, and esthetic results in shallow and complex defects. However, they are mostly performed during different surgical procedures at different stages, raising the treatment time and cost for patients, directly related to the bio materials used and surgical times. The purpose of this case series is to present a simplified clinical scenario using a connective tissue graft as a membrane to improve esthetics and patient satisfaction while reducing treatment time and cost.
种植牙现在是全球最有用的治疗方法之一，从简单到复杂的病例都有较高的成功率，但在美观、成本和长期成功维持方面也有不同的结果。起初，种植牙治疗的功能和存活率是主要目标。然而，多年来，成功标准已经增加、演变和改进，超越了功能，包括美观和患者相关的结果。与种植体治疗平行的是，引导骨再生和牙周整形手术也在发展，以在浅的和复杂的缺损中实现可预测的、功能性的和美观的结果。然而，这些手术大多在不同的手术阶段进行，增加了患者的治疗时间和成本，这与所使用的生物材料和手术时间直接相关。本病例系列的目的是展示一种简化的临床方案，使用结缔组织移植物作为膜来改善美观和患者满意度，同时减少治疗时间和成本。
