In one-stage grafting procedures, there is a simultaneous implant placement where primary stability is achieved followed immediately by grafting procedures to fill the remaining defect and/or to support the soft tissue. Following the placement of an implant, some patients may still not have enough of the soft tissues needed to create a pleasing post-surgical aesthetic. In order to correct this, a soft tissue—or even a hard tissue—graft may be done immediately following implant placement both for the support of the implant and for a more normal appearance. Soft tissue grafting may be done by utilizing the pouch technique to add contour and bulk to the tissues surrounding the implant. A good source for graft material can be found in the subepithelial connective tissue. Harvesting tissue from this location has several benefits including a lower chance of necrosis and a higher volume of soft tissue harvesting.
