Initial clinical situation with loss of attached gingiva around the implants and shallow vestibule

Preoperative situation – Maxillary defect in area 14-16 (loss of implant 16 due to periimplantitis, tooth 14 extracted recently and area 15 already edentulous for a while)

Insufficient keratinized mucosa and extremely shallow vestibule on the maxilla

Pre-operative clinical situation: changed color in the gingiva in the front maxilla

Lack of sufficient keratinized mucosa following extensive horizontal ridge augmentation
