摘要

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.
