    This study presents a simplified surgical technique for ridge augmentation using connective tissue grafts. The method effectively addresses moderate to mild alveolar ridge deficiencies, even under existing restorations.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Periodontology
    • Dental Implantology

    Background:

    • Alveolar ridge deficiencies pose challenges in restorative and implant dentistry.
    • Existing techniques for ridge augmentation can be complex and invasive.
    • Management of ridge defects adjacent to or under existing restorations requires specialized approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a simplified surgical technique for alveolar ridge augmentation.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of a tunnelized subepithelial connective tissue graft for ridge defects.
    • To demonstrate the applicability of the technique in cases with existing restorations.

    Main Methods:

    • A simplified surgical approach involving a single vertical incision to create a tissue tunnel.

  • Harvesting of subepithelial connective tissue grafts from the palate.
  • Insertion of the graft into the prepared tunnel for ridge augmentation.
  • Treatment of ten patients with moderate Type B and mild Type C ridge deficiencies.

    • Main Results:

    • The simplified technique was successfully applied to ten patients.
    • The technique proved effective for managing moderate and mild ridge deficiencies.
    • The surgical approach was suitable for patients with existing fixed restorations.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented simplified surgical technique offers an effective method for alveolar ridge augmentation.
    • This approach facilitates the management of ridge defects, particularly in the presence of existing restorations.
    • The tunnelized connective tissue graft technique provides a predictable option for enhancing alveolar ridges.
