Summary
This study introduces a minimally invasive technique combining guided roll flap (GRF) with static computer-assisted implant surgery (s-CAIS). The approach enhances buccal mucosal thickness and maintains peri-implant soft tissues, offering an alternative to tissue punches.
Area of Science:
- Oral surgery
- Implant dentistry
- Guided surgery
Background:
- Flapless static computer-assisted implant surgery (s-CAIS) often reduces peri-implant soft tissues.
- Tissue punches commonly used in s-CAIS can lead to mucosal reduction.
- Maintaining or augmenting soft tissues is crucial for implant success.
