PICF biomarkers can be used to monitor early wound healing events following soft tissue grafting at implant sites. VEGF and TIMP-2 showed correlations with the 1-year clinical and volumetric outcomes, as well as with post-operative patient-reported outcomes and Doppler Ultrasonographic tissue perfusion-related parameters.
