Vertical implant soft tissue augmentation is indicated to optimize esthetic outcomes in cases of peri-implant soft tissue deficiency or dehiscence, particularly when the peri-implant mucosa is exposed during a full smile. This manuscript describes the use of a subperiosteal circumferential connective tissue graft (SC CTG) for vertical implant soft tissue augmentation via the vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel...
