Recent data suggested that an adequate volume of Keratinized Tissue (KT) around dental implant is a key factor to obtain aesthetic outcomes and to support easy long-term maintenance. The aim of this RCT is to test the volume-stable collagen matrix (VCMX) vs the Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) for peri-implant soft tissue augmentation during implant uncovering.

PROMs
After explanation of the post-operative instructions patients will be given an evaluation questionnaire. Patient discomfort during procedure (from 0 to 10) and the overall judgment about the self-perception of procedure difficulty will be assed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS- (from 0 to 100))
