Strain ratios at the 12-month time points were significantly higher than the values observed at 6 months (<i>p</i> < .001). Regression analysis demonstrated that strain elastography ratios in natural dentition were significantly associated with keratinized gingiva width, and gingival thickness. At implant sites, SR<sub>1</sub> was significantly associated with keratinized mucosa width and mucosal thickness (<i>p</i> < .001 for both correlations), SR<sub>2</sub> was significantly associated with keratinized mucosa width (<i>p</i> = .013), and SR3 was significantly associated with the surgical technique performed in combination with CTG (<i>p</i> = .022).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Ultrasound strain elastography captures and quantifies tissue elasticity and its changes after soft tissue augmentation.
