Popis: The aim of this study was to investigate histologically the amount of peri-implant tissue augmentation after volume-stable porcine collagen matrix transplantation. Six male beagle dogs were used in the experiment. P2, P4, and M1 distal roots were extracted under general anesthesia. After 6 months, implants were placed in the same sites, and volume-stable porcine collagen matrix transplantation was performed. Impressions were taken at 1 and 2 weeks and at 1, 2, and 3 months after transplantation. The dogs were euthanized at 3 months, and their mandibles were removed and scanned using micro-computed tomography. Standard Triangulated Language data were also obtained. Using preoperative models as a reference, the data for all time points were compared, and changes in the thickness of the cross-section of the implant sites were measured. The model created at 3 months was then compared with the mandible data, and the thickness of collected peri-implant soft tissue was measured under optical microscopy. Increased thickness was found at some of the sites on the buccal side. Regarding the peri-implant soft tissue, the thickness of the measured sites on the buccal side was significantly increased at 3 months in the experimental group. Histological observations of the internal structures of the tissue in the experimental group revealed irregular collagen fibers and a remnant collagen matrix. Endogenous tissue was observed within the collagen matrix, indicating good fusion with the surrounding autologous tissue. These results suggest that volume-stable porcine collagen matrix transplantation promotes peri-implant tissue augmentation on the buccal side.
