Clinical efficacy of xenogeneic collagen matrix in augmenting keratinized mucosa round dental implants: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionsThe use of XCM improved KMW and PD with rates comparable to those for CTG. XCM showed lower results for GT when compared to CTG. XCM presented similar results in terms of PAS when compared to CTG.Clinical relevanceThe presence of a KMW around dental implants is associated with better peri-implant tissue health.
