Background:
Esthetic concerns are central in contemporary dental practice, particularly in the anterior maxilla where ridge defects compromise the emergence profile of prostheses.
Purpose:
This case series evaluated the effectiveness of Abrams' roll technique for soft tissue ridge augmentation in localized alveolar ridge deformities.
Methods:
Three patients with Seibert's Class I ridge defects in the anterior maxilla were treated using Abrams' roll technique. Outcomes were assessed over a 1 year follow-up period in terms of soft tissue gain, esthetic improvement and outcomes.
Results:
All patients demonstrated horizontal soft tissue gain of 1.5-2 mm with uneventful healing. The modified PES improved by an average of 3 points postoperatively, indicating enhanced ridge contour and tissue harmony. No major complications occurred.
Conclusion:
Abrams' roll technique proved to be a predictable and minimally invasive method for soft tissue augmentation of localized ridge defects, providing stable tissue enhancement and favourable esthetic results in the anterior maxilla.
