Area of Science:

Dental Implantology
Periodontal Plastic Surgery

Background:

Soft-tissue defects around dental implants can compromise aesthetic outcomes.
Enhancing soft-tissue thickness and profile is crucial for successful implant restorations.

Observation:

A modified roll flap technique was performed during the second surgical stage of implant placement.
This technique specifically addresses small horizontal soft-tissue defects.

Findings:

The modified roll flap successfully enhanced soft-tissue thickness.
It improved the buccal soft-tissue profile around the implant.
Papilla morphology was preserved using this technique.

Implications:

This surgical modification offers a viable solution for correcting minor soft-tissue deficiencies.
It leads to improved aesthetic results in dental implantology.
Preservation of papilla morphology contributes to a more natural appearance.
