Clinical Comparison of the Volumetric Changes in Single Pontic Site Development through Connective Tissue Grafting Using Modified Pouch Technique versus Pouch Technique in the Maxillary Esthetic Zone: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

<div>Clinical Photographs showing pouch technique in control group: (a) crestal incision in the site of missing upper left 1<sup>st</sup> premolar for pouch preparation, (b) prepared pouch after the extension of the dissection beyond the mucogingival line, (c) pull of the de-epithelialized free gingival graft into the pontic site through the crestal incision in the pouch prepared using positional sutures, (d) Provisional restoration is temporarily cemented and double cross suture are applied, and (e) after six months and final bridge is delivered.</div>
