Minor deficiencies can be effectively managed by soft-tissue augmentation procedures to create a more biomimetic tissue contour. The minimally invasive roll technique is a modification of the palatal roll-flap technique and can be carried out at both stages of implant surgery. In this technique, the crestal keratinized tissue is marked and de-epithelialized using a circular partial-thickness incision. The crestal connective tissue is then reflected using a lingual full-thickness semi-circular incision, keeping the buccal attachment intact. This buccal attachment serves as the pedicle. The crestal connective tissue is then rolled into a pouch on the buccal aspect of the ridge to obtain soft-tissue augmentation. The present case study documents the clinical results of the minimally invasive roll flap technique (MIRT) in three clinical scenarios, namely single-stage implant surgery, second-stage implant surgery, and anterior esthetic soft-tissue contouring. In all the cases, excellent soft-tissue contour and thickness has been obtained around dental implants. The MIRT is a simple and efficient technique for areas that require minor soft-tissue augmentation. The technique can be used both in the maxilla and the mandible and facilitates a suture-free surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jisp.jisp_274_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,31]],"date-time":"2024-08-31T17:13:33Z","timestamp":1725124413000},"page":"262-267","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Applications of a minimally invasive roll flap technique in peri-implant soft-tissue augmentation \u2013 A case series"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Mihir Raghavendra","family":"Kulkarni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontics, SDM College of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara University, Dharwad, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anjali Mahesh","family":"Chhabariya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Implantology, SDM College of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara University, Dharwad, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shiphalika","family":"Sinha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontics, SDM College of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara University, Dharwad, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Sahana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, SDM College of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara University, Dharwad, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anushtha","family":"Jain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, SDM College of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara University, Dharwad, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"212","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.2005.00642.x","article-title":"Dimensional ridge alterations following tooth extraction.
