RESUMO
This article presented a series of cases using vascularized interpositional periosteal-connective tissue ( VIP-CT) flap with guide bone regeneration ( GBR) in peri-implant soft and hard tissue reconstuction at the esthet-ic zone of maxillary. Fifteen cases with bone and soft tissue defects underwent VIP-CT flap with GBR in the implant treatment. And the attached gingiva width was evaluated before treatment and six months and eighteen months after the operation. The width of attached gingival of six months and eighteen months after surgery was significantly dif-ferent from the preoperative value (P<0. 05). However, no statistically significant difference could be found at six months and eighteen months postoperative. The application of VIP-CT flap could increase the width of attached gin-giva around implants and the short-term effects were stable and favorable.
