Abstract

The treatment choice for the recovery of missing teeth has been expanded for two patients and clinicians with the utilization of dental implants. For the success of dental implants, the quality and the amount of the available bone and soft tissues in the recipient site are very important factors. However, because of the tumor, injury, periodontal ailment, and so on, these variables might be undermined or inaccessible which again brings out the need for extra hard and soft tissue manipulation. This paper outlines a technique using a modified rolled palatal pedicle connective tissue graft with an autogenous bone graft from the mandibular symphysis area to achieve a predictable long-term success of dental implants prosthesis.

Keywords: Bone grafts; emergence profile; soft tissue thickness.
