Abstract

Background: This case report describes the use of a combination of PRF membrane and CTG for socket coverage and augmentation of soft tissues at immediate implant site.

Methods: The tooth was atraumatically extracted, and flapless immediate implant placement was performed. The socket was covered by a layer of PRF membrane and overlying CTG.

Results: The patient exhibited uncomplicated healing and acceptable soft tissue profile could be achieved with final restoration after 4 months. Conclusion: The use of PRF membrane in adjunction to CTG simultaneous to flapless IIP enabled primary wound healing and provided gain of soft tissue volume and papillary support that resulted in satisfactory soft tissue profile for fabrication of final restoration.
