Abstract

In the review we analyze the basic surgical techniques applied to increase the volume of a keratinized gum and materials used for this procedure, such as dermal and collagen matrices. The results of clinical trials are presented on the effectiveness of collagen matrices, including Mucograft. The analysis of the literature highlights the main advantages and disadvantages of these methods and materials, as well as the most significant and promising areas for the further clinical research.
