Diode laser-assisted soft tissue augmentation without transplantation to increase the width of keratinized tissue around the implant

This is a continuation of the previous case: https://www.casemasters.com/case/socket-preservation-with-collagen-membrane-and-allograft Since the socket preservation had thickened the soft tissue,the keratinized tissue was increased by partial-thickness incision and APF while the fixure exposed by diode laser to avoid alveolar bone resorption and wound shrinkage.The gingival architecture and height was even better than before.

Please rate this case

before and after
post implantation 3 months
partial-thickness flap elevation
fixture exposure with diode laser
apical-positioned flap suture
stitches removal after 1 week
soft tissue modeling by a temporary crown
after modeling 1 month
prosthesis fabricated
after prosthesis 3 months
