abstract = {Oral soft tissue thickening or grafting procedures are often necessary to cover tooth recession,
re-establish an adequate width of keratinized tissue, correct mucogingival deformities improving
esthetics, prepare a site for an implant or prosthetics, for ridge preservation procedures, and soft tissue
contouring around dental implants. Gingival recession and root or implant exposure are commonly
associated and have led to mucogingival deficiencies that have traditionally been treated with free
gingival grafts and autogenous soft tissue grafts. The latter represents the gold standard in acquiring
a functionally adequate zone of keratinized attached gingiva. However, soft tissue substitutes are
more usually employed because they lessen morbidity and abbreviate surgical time. This review
is aimed at assessing oral soft tissue augmentation techniques and biomaterials used from existing
literature, principally concerning sca olds from both human and animal-based tissue derivatives
matrices. In order to avoid the use of human donor tissue, the xenogenic collagen matrices are
proposed for soft tissue augmentation. In general, all of them have provided the remodeling processes
and enhanced the formation of new connective tissue within the matrix body.},
